Hello all fellow Ingram researchers. I wanted to let you all know that if you have ancestors who may have married in Navarro county, Texas, their original marriage license may be at the court house. These are the originals, not copies. The county didn't always mail these out to the couples as they do now. For various reasons, they were never picked up. There is no charge for these by the county at this time as they don't belong to the county, but should have been in the hands of your ancestors years ago. There are an estimated 20,000 plus of these old licenses, some as old as 1850!! I was attempting to index them and physically sort them, until the county clerk changed his mind. I have all of the "A"s through "M"s on disc and the licenses are at the court house in alphabetical order. All the "N"s through "Z"s are separated into boxes but not in alphabetical order. There are 15 computer paper boxes stuffed full of licenses. The licenses for the following Ingram grooms were at the Navarro county, Texas court house as of April of this year: (Note that the dates are issue date, not marriage date or date of recording. Also notes including "col" or "fmc/fwc" indicate that the couple was "colored" or "free man of color/ free woman of color". The "*" indicates that the license is in a separate folder which contains very fragile old licenses.)
