Judy, Were you able to go through the St. Mary's records, or did you do it by mail? I would love to go to the church, and spend an afternoon there. Thanks Bob Martin, CSG #17217 Tolland, Ct.

I have my grandparents marriage license of 1890 from the New Haven vital statistics at 165 Church Street, New Haven. I don't know how far they go back.

Mary's Church in New haven. My question is--is this all that I can expect to find? Did they have to fill out anything like a license? This was 1857 and I am very grateful to have found this marriage listed. The vital records listing only has brides parents names listed {I already knew their names} and groom's parents is left blank{that was what I was looking for} Church record has witnesses and nothing more.
