Family History Library in Salt Lake City has on 88 microfiche an index to the North Carolina marriage bonds. There is a groom index and a bride index. The list includes the name of the bondsman and the certificate (or bond) number. I cannot remember whether the marriages for Granville Co. are included, as I understood that in some cases, Granville Co. held back some of its older records from the Archives. Is that a rumor, or is it the truth? Anyway, at 15 cents apiece, perhaps you and some friends can gather together and raise the money to purchase from Salt Lake City the entire set for less than $15 (at least what my rusty arithmetic works it out). The set would stay at your nearby LDS center. Sometimes it takes a long time for the FHL at SLC to send out the films/fiche which are requested. If you access the FHL catalog on www.familysearch.org and type in North Carolina and go down to the very bottom of a VERY LONG list of topics for North Carolina, you will find a topic Vital Records. Look for indexes. That should be the title. Hope this helps! E.W.Wallace PS Also look for the marriage of the bondsman. He may be a brother-in-law, or soon to-be-brother-in-law. At least, that happened in the case of one Stokes Co. family I was researching! And some of the parties seem to have come from Maryland, perhaps as a group! E.W.Wallace
