Allen County KY Marriages 1815-1888.
A devastating Courthouse fire in October 1902 destroyed all the marriage records in Allen Co. All that remained were the marriage returns submitted by the minister of Justice of the Peace showing just the groom, bride, date license was taken out. Three older publications, out of print and copyright listed what remained. Another book covered the vital statistics and gleaned some marriage dates. What is contained in this book is all that there is during this timeframe. There could be errors in the original transcriptions due to reading faded handwriting, charred remains, etc. This book contains the names of over 3,300 marriages. It is shown in alphabetical order by the groom; there is a full-name bride's index and a surname index of the minister's or Justices of the Peace. This is all the information that was saved, there is no more. 82 pages. $15.00
