This is only a study file and not meant as a legal document.

Beginning in 1882, the counties were required to send marriage information on to the state for statistical purposes. You can only obtain copies of marriage record information from the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the license was issued. Types of records the court may have include: licenses (issued before the marriage took place, in the county where the bride lived); ministers' returns (made by the minister who performed the marriage and then, usually but not always, returned by the minister to the clerk of the court); and affidavits of consent (needed when either the bride or groom was under legal age).

Marriage Records
Beginning in 1882, the counties were required to send marriage information on to the state for statistical purposes. You can only obtain copies of marriage record information from the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the license was issued. Types of records the court may have include licenses (issued before the marriage took place, in the county where the bride lived); ministers' returns (made by the minister who performed the marriage and then, usually but not always, returned by the minister to the clerk of the court); and affidavits of consent (needed when either the bride or groom was under legal age).
For marriages before 1882, county marriage records in Indiana may not include much information other than the bride's and the groom's names, the date of the marriage return, the officiating minister, and if the bride or groom was under legal age, the name of a parent or guardian. Beginning in 1882, the bride and groom also had to supply their age, birthplace, birthdate, race, the names of their parents, and information about any previous marriages of either person.
