>>Downing deaths in Illinois 1916-1950 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/IDPHDeathSearchServlet The Illinois State Archives has many usefulthings online including marriage records, civil war info and so on. Be sure to check the IRAD records too. Please note that the items were transcribed by volunteers and there are errors, lots of digits transposed and so on. And they had to read some OLD docs so they may have read them wrong. GENERALLY, you can get a copy of the OLD marriage record from IRAD for a dollar, much better than what the local clerks charge.
