Maureen, The application was typed and it doesn't say any thing about the informants but the second page was filled out by the priest (same priest that married my hubby and me in 1974. He was a family friend). I recognized my parents' and the priest's handwriting. Oh well, I'll probably never find out. Thanks for your input.

I obtained both the license & cert. I KNOW my grandfather didn't fill it out. I'm not that familiar with my grandmother's handwriting (she died when I was 8), but the writing doesn't look anything like her signature. .... I'm guessing that the clerk filled out license, priest at least part of the cert, and they signed when/where necessary. Just an idea, Maureen
