Marriage records 1853. NO there would not be listed any information other than name of groom, bride, date of marriage, who performed marriage (minister or Justice of the Peace), and the date marriage was recorded by county clerk in county records. In some states, like Ohio (and not every county in Ohio did this), they may have also entered the ages of the married couple.If the person was from out of the county, some recorders MIGHT have added, "John (or Ida) ---- of ------ County." As Mary said if either party was under 18, there might be "consent of" someone. But the relationship was usually not stated. (YOU will have to figure it out yourself what the relationship is.) Some states were rather strict about recording the consent of so and so (Virginia & Kentucky for example) and other states (Ohio, Illinois) were very lax about recording the consents. And then there is the in-between where you find consents recorded sometimes and not at other times (Missouri). Other than the basic information required by the state (name, date, county married in, and date of record), details in marriage records seem to be entirely up to the county recorder and the paper supply. It is not until the 1880's that marriage records contained the names of the parents, places of residences, and other information. And you would be surprised how often are the columns of those questions are still left blank. My wish had been that the 1790-1840 census had listed the names of all the inhabitants of a house, not just the head of house, and that the 1850 census had listed county and state of birth, rather than just state. Nobody thought of listing everyone in a house until 1850, and no one ever thought of including the county of birth on the census. (It would have been great for genealogists dealing with movable ancestors.) Although in some very rare cases there are 1850 censuses where the COUNTY and state birthplace of everyone was listed! Starting with the 1850 census, I have heard the reason states decided to list the name of everyone, their age and their birthplace was for the health department, so that the health department could notice how diseases appeared in the population. Before 1850, names, specific ages and places of birth were not listed in census records, as the early census were more interested in a count of the population, for commercial and military purposes.
