Sandi they didn't do the full application until about 1900, depending on the county, I've looked for other people, Now when Grandma got married it was a nice application and show all the information you would need, I found that my great grandfather had been born in Scioto Ohio, ant he was born during the civil was and the records where not taken at that time, so that was a surprise for me. Sometimes the counties were doing this in the late 1800's, but some counties did not do them until later. As you know that is what I do to help out people who can't do the personal research here in Indiana, I have to that are from Australia that ask for the copies, and they send me the money to get them to them, If you could get them they are some times $4-$10.00 a record. I can get them, and charge only $2.00- $4.00 depending on how hard they are to find. Sometimes I have to look at a couple rolls of microfilm before I can find the records they need, but the later ones are the application type. The early ones are like the ones we got when we were married, just a certificate. Does this help you? If you can here to Indpls, I could show you how hard it is sometimes to find them, and then If the dates were wrong, you just hope that they are the same people. Teddy
