Hi all, For marriage records write to: County Clerk of Will County, Will County Office Bldg.,301 N. Chicago St., Room 150, Joliet, IL 60431 If you write to the Court ask for an Application for Search (which has sections for Birth, Death and Marriage Records). This will tell you all you need to supply - Name of Groom, name of bride, date of marriage, place of marriage, number of copies. Include a SASE. In 1988 when I asked for a marriage record the charge was $5.00 for each search. No personal checks accepted. There is a large, handwritten index by both groom's name and bride's name, as this is how I found my 2nd great-grandmother was married three times. But that's another long story. You might ask and receive all the info without an initial letter, but if the price has increased, or the form changed, you would know all you need to know right from the beginning. Good luck. For anyone else searching Will Co. the first birth and death records to be filed was December 1877. First marriage records were July 1836.
