If you tried a search engine on the Yell County Marriages 1851-1900 and didn't find your relative don't give up. I have been looking through the file this weekend and I have never seen such "creative spelling". I imagine the file was copied from the original bonds and that they are as difficult to read as census records and also that the people getting the license may not have been very good spellers either (I have trouble spelling my own name and it only has 5 letters!) but there are still some unique spellings in there. Some seem to be phonetic spellings, some are probably nicknames or variations of names such as "Luller" for Lula, one spouse had a given name of Sis, I found the name Burrows spelled three different ways. Those are just a few of the things I have run into. I am "trying" to create an alphabetical listing by grooms surname but am only about 1/3 of the way through. Haven't found much to help my research but it is fun. Keep looking.
