Howdy All, I'm looking for a marriage that *should* have taken place in Boston c1886-1889. I've written to the MA Archives twice, but nothing found. I've had a really nice volunteer search variant spellings, but still nothing. What should I do next? Could they have married in another state? Was there a "Las Vegas" kind of place where Boston folks ran away to to get married? Jeanne

They also had commom law marriages back then. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeanne Arguelles" <ejarguelles@msn.com> To: <BOSTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 12:36 AM Subject: [BOSTON] Marriage question > Howdy All, > > I'm looking for a marriage that *should* have taken place in Boston c1886-1889.
