I was wondering if there is any on the list that can help me with the following: I did a search on the index for the 1860 Morgan Co., IL Census at the genealogy library and found Parris, James - IL MORGAN CO. - INDIAN CREEK page 843 - year 1860. If any has access to these records would they be so kind as to share it with me including those that are listed in the household?

Census is also a good place to look when you know where the couple was living...trouble was I didn't know where to look...but someone look up the census for the last name and about date I thought I needed and her info helped a lot...because sometimes the census list the whole family and anyone living with them and you can see what marriage (if the person has been married more than once) he or she is in.

I would like to thank everyone who replied to my question concerning information contained on a marriage license in Logan County. If I didn't personally reply to your message I assure you they were all appreciated. Betty (Arkansas)

What if you what to find the date and place of a prior marriage and all you have is the date and place of the second marriage. What information will be on a second marriage certificate for a male? Will it have his first wife's name and date of death? Thanks for any help you can throw my way!

Hi Betty and list, When I sent for a copy of marriage license for my family, I was told to ask also for a copy of the State Board Of Health to be copy on this couple also, if it was with that marriage license copy...I didn't have to pay any more for it and often it was on the back of their marriage license but not always..I got a copy of it along with all but 3 or 4 marriage license copies. State Board of Health tells us where the couple was born and their parents and their age their next birthday, what marriage it is for each of the ones getting married, where they are living when they married. I wrote to the court house in the town I was looking for the couple and requested a copy of their marriage & copy of the State Board of Health if available..One can also request a search for land purchase.Hope this helps.

Did you try the 1850 California census? My Illinois ancestor was there. ----------------- At 05:18 PM 1/27/00 -0900, you wrote: >I can account for all of them in the 1850 census but not James. ------------ Joan Black Lund My passion is Genealogy. http://www.tbox.com/isgs http://www.tbox.com/ccgs http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~j-lund http://aiep.german.uiuc.edu http://www.lang.uiuc.edu/study.abroad/spain.html http://www.ealc.uiuc.edu/yij/yij.htm

Thanks so much for checking. I am at a total loss on this one. I have James Paris (son of Ezekiel and Polly Paris) born KY 1830 and his wife Almeda born KY. The first they show up is on the 1860 census in Menard Co. (Petersburg PO), IL (which is dated 7/5/1860) by this time they have 3 children all born in IL (Oliver 7, Zephus 4, and Robert 1 - James is 27 and Almeda is 32). The next I find James Parris marrying a Mrs. Carolina Dickenson Aug 20, 1869 in Morgan Co., IL at the age of 39. Following that, these two show up on the 1870 census in Cass Co., IL (which is dated Sept 20, 1870) by that time the three boys have left home or gone to live with other family members (which seems confusing to me). However, they have in their household the following [Evalie Paris b. IL 10, David Paris b. ARK 8, Alice b. IL (March is the birth month) 2/12, William Dickenson 17, Emma Dickenson 16 and Charles Dickenson 13 - James 39 and Carolina b. Swiss 36]. I know that James dies on Jan 31, 1913 in Chandlerville, Cass Co., IL and is buried in the Village Cemetery. Some puzzling items: Where could James have been during the 1850 census, he is not in his father's home in Madison Co., KY. Where were James and Almeda married Just when did Almeda die Is Alice Almeda's child or did Carolina(e) become pregnant prior to marrying James Where did Robert, Zephus, and Robert go? I know that James moved to Menard with his brothers: William, Bennett, Henry, and Ishom possibly Volney his other brother and Elizabeth his sister. I can account for all of them in the 1850 census but not James. If any has ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

>My great grandparents were married in Logan County in 1875. Did you find them on the Illinois Marriage list? Many of the records for that period in Logan County were destroyed in a courthouse fire. Were they still in Logan County in 1878? I have the 1878 History. Cheryl Rothwell clrothwell@mindspring.com

Could someone on this list answer a question I have? My great grandparents were married in Logan County in 1875. My question is this, What information is contained on the marriage license? They are the only folks I have that married there and I would like to know if buying the license would gain any information. Thanks to all who reply to this question. Betty (Arkansas)
