These are the marriages that are listed on the CD Colorado Marriages 1859-1939 There were several James and James A that could be the one you are looking for. None however were in the Montrose, San Miguel, or La Plata Counties area. They were all listed as being married on the Easter Slope, close to Denver. The only marriage found for Arthur Bennett was 25 Oct 1910 to Ali Huggins in La Plata County. There were no Jim Bennetts listed. Have you tried searching th old newspaper archives for Colorado State? Might have some luck there. http://www.cdpheritage.org/collection/chnc.cfm Gladys ~ have a Merry Christmas!

Thanks for your reply. I have a certified copy of the marriage license and applcation plus the certtificate of marriage between Arthur Bennett, and Ali (Alice Amanda ) Hudgins, but they were married in Telluride. San Miguel Unless for some reason they were listed in La Plata because he claimed he was divorced there from his first wife. If there is actually one listed for them in La Plata, I will write the Clerk again and get a copy of it. This beginning to be a real mystery. I would appreciate your listing any James , or Arthur Bennett anywhere in Colorado, I have already checked out the one In Pueblo County, in 1905, and received the one from Boulder in 1907. I now there were a lot of Bennetts in Colorado, but the only viable dates would be no earlier than 1904, and I doubt if it was that early. I am beginning to wonder if he did get a divorce from his first wife. I will certainly try to look through the web site for old newspapers. Thanks Gladys and have a merry Christmas and a good New Year.

Opps, Arthur was indeed married in San Miguel County. The Arthur below was married in La Plata. sorry about that. The only Arthur that was applicable was the one I listed. J, James etc. J A Bennett md Lydia Laurence 24 Oct 1905 Pueblo James Bennett md Davina Ferguson 26 Sept 1907 James M Bennett md Edna Black 6 Sept 1906 Larimer James W Bennett md Anna Schlichterle 26 Jan 1904 Denver These are the only ones that appear that fit your criteria.
