If you have the name and date (enough) then got the # of the cert, vol and page number form the IL marriages online, you can just order them @$7 each from: County Clerk Macoupin County Courthouse PO Box 107 Carlinville IL 62626 If the cert before 1877, chance you may get only the jp or minister's name along with the bride and groom unless one or both were under age then you will probably at least get a parent's name. Later certs give names of parents, where born, number of marriages, etc, lots more info.
