Freeman is given in the index as Royal OLOVER and he is found on the previous page from Mary -- page 0126, sequence 18207. So, either this Mary J. Freeman is not yours, or she married someone named Royal OLOVER or perhaps OLIVER. There are many misspellings in this WI Marriage index. I have found that sometimes the groom and the bride are listed on seperate pages -- just the way the spacing came our, I presume. But, it seems customary for the groom's name to be put into the marriage record FIRST and the bride's name SECOND, so I have learned to look at the previous page if the groom is missing and the following page if the bride seems to be missing. I have found what I'm looking for nearly every time. Happy hunting and great success to you, Norma
