Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, Frankfort, Kentucky. About Kentucky, Marriage Records, 1852-1914 This database is an index to Kentucky marriages from 1852-1914. Information that may be found in this database for each entry includes the following: Names of bride and groom Ages of bride and groom Birthplaces of bride and groom Residences of bride and groom Parents’ birthplaces Marriage date Marriage place While all Kentucky counties except for McCreary and Mercer are included in this database, there may not be records for all years between 1852-1914 for each county. See below for a list of years included for each county. Where to Go From Here: Marriage records are great sources for genealogists because they document an individual in a particular place and time as well as provide details about that person's marriage. It is important that you use the information found in this database to locate your ancestor in the original records that this index references. Usually more information is available in the records themselves than is found in an index. For example, marriage records sometimes provide the birth dates of the bride and groom, their parents' names, and witnesses' names (often family members), in addition to the information listed in this index. The Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics maintains marriage records from June 1958. Records of marriage occurring before 1958 must be obtained from the county clerk of the county in which the marriage license was issued. About Marriage Records in General: Marriage licenses are the most common marriage records in the United States. They are issued by the appropriate authority prior to the marriage ceremony, and they have come to replace the posting of banns and intentions. Marriage licenses, which grant permission for a marriage to be performed, are returned to civil authorities after the ceremony. Marriage licenses exist in varying forms. A standard form generally asks for the names of the bride and groom, their residence at the time of application, the date the marriage was performed, the date the license was issued, the place of the marriage, and the name of the person performing the marriage ceremony. Marriage certificates are given to the couple after the ceremony is completed and are thus usually found among family records. There are exceptions, however. [Some] certificates…are similar to marriage licenses issued in other places. The bride and groom usually receive a marriage certificate for their family records containing similar historical information, signatures of witnesses, etc. Taken from Cerny, Johni and Sandra H.
