Hi, Renee, when I was tracing my family back in Iowa I went to the church where tey belonged and found marriage records and death records, sometime the churches kept very good records some may be in latin , or in there native language, you might want to try that, sometime on a state level they didn't keep records until later, also tey the county where they came from , they also kept record more on a county level than a state level, hope this helpsMary Lyons ( Nebraska) "Renee O." <[email protected]> wrote:I am trying to locate birth and marriage records that are not in the online indexes I've checked. Wonder if anyone can help or give me some pointers as to what I could do. Birth record or index of Mary E. Carr born February 17, 1890 in Indiana. Marriage of James A. Carr and Margaret Wenger about 1889 in Indiana. I have found James with Patrick Henry in 1891 in the Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co. directory index on Ancestry, just today: James A. Carr clerk southeast corner State and Ellsworth 317 South, W. Lafayette IN 1891 P. H. Carr groceries southeast corner State and Ellsworth 317 South, W. Lafayette IN 1891 Lillis M. Moore seamstress 317 South, W. Lafayette IN 1891 P.H. is Patrick Henry, James A's stepfather. Julia Ann Moore is James mother and Patrick's wife, so Lillis is likely related to her. I already have the index for Patrick and Julia's marriage and also John A. and Julia's marriage and am waiting on the records to come. Hoping that since James is in Tippecanoe in 1891 that Mary may have been born there and Margaret (Maggie) and James married there.

Her obit says that the Presbyterian church performed the services. Her father was a minister from what I understand. She died in Washington, so I don't have the church from there. Anyone familiar with what Presbyterian churches there were in 1890 in Tippecanoe or Clinton County. Someone has looked at her marriage return and thinks it says she was born in Clinton County, but she is not on the birth index for either Tippecanoe or Clinton. Also, does anyone know how I would go about contacting them to ask for these records.
