And we wonder why we can't find our ancestors' documents(!). It never
occurred to me to check the courthouse for my marriage registration. I may
not be there either. I have the minister's certificate, and so far that
has served me well(since 1959) for any ID I've needed.

Phyllis,
I do now, but it sure wasn't fun back then, especially when they said we'd
have to get married again, because by that time I was expecting and I didn't
want my future children to think we'd had a shotgun wedding. By the time we
found out, my maid of honor who signed the license originally was out of
state so I had to find someone else to sign it who had been present at the
wedding.
I also wonder now what researchers will think when they see it was
recorded in May of 1960 when we actually married in June of 1959. Or if
they'll have trouble finding it because of the date it's recorded. Or if
they'll think we married, split up, and remarried.

Phyllis,
Maybe there were also ministers back then like the one who married my
husband and I. A year after we married, we had never received a copy of
the certificate back in the mail. We kept inquiring with our minister and
he'd tell us things like, "I checked and the clerk's office is
behind.",
and later "I checked and it's in the outbox ready to be mailed back to
you". After this went on awhile I called the clerk's office myself and
they replied "The minister has never mailed it back to us, so as far as we
were concerned you let it lapse without ever using it." Soooo....legally
we weren't even married. We later found out he'd done that to several
couples who married that year. If that happened back in the 1800s people
might never have followed up on it and the marriage would never have been
recorded.

That explains why there are some licenses issued and no marriage date
isted. I always thought that meant they had changed their minds. Thanks
or the info.

I have recently discovered that a marriage license can be issued by any
county in Indiana and used in any other county. The county where the
license was issued is the county where the record is kept regardless of
where in Indiana the marriage took place.
This is the reason I have not found the license or marriage place of some
of my family.
I live in Kansas and the law is the same here and also in Missouri. This
is not true for all states - in some states the license must be used in
the county where it was obtained.
