I just discovered that in one state, (I don't know if this is uniform across the country) that several of my relatives aquired marriage applications in on county, then were married in another county, same state. Often, not even a close county. Now here is the rub. Do I put down where the ceremony took place? There will be no official record of the marriage. People may be able to find a newspaper article, but there is no county record there. Or would you put down the county the lisence was issued in that slot labled "where" ? If this is the status quo for all states, I may have just figured out why I have trouble finding either court records or new articles.
