Marriage APPLICATIONS in Vanderburgh Co did not start until the early 1900s--not sure of
exact year maybe around 1905. Anything before that would be a "MARRIAGE RECORD"
or "MARIAGE LICENSE". The marriage application is a form that the couple filled
out which gives the info about them, name, age, dob, pob, parents etc. Marriage records
from the time period you are asking for probably are not in the Clerk's office
anymore, but where they store them, (Not sure on that though).
I do volunteer lookups in Vanderburgh--so if you send me the name you are searching for I
can and will take a look in the WPA marriage book for Vanderburgh CO. HOWEVER--you will
need to be patient as I do not drive and depend on family for transportation to and from
the library.
