Put a query on the KYBracken mail list. I have Pell's book that ends with 1850 there is a person on that list that has marriages after 1850 which were documented by Pell. I wish Campbell County has such a book. Brooksville is where the courthouse is for Bracken Co, and you can only get to them on Fridays, as they are in another locked room from the vital records room. I was there last summer.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gAB.2ACI/1438.2 Message Board Post: Rosemary, I checked the records at the Campbell County courthouse and did not find a Harry Crenshaw or a Maybelle Lawson among the records. Have you checked the marriage records for Bracken County, KY? You mentioned that the parents of Maybelle lived in Bracken Ky. There is no town of Bracken, Ky that I know of. But Bracken County touches on Campbell County. The county seat of Bracken County is Augusta, Ky. The law in Kentucky permits a person to obtain a marriage license in any county in the state. It also allows the person to be married in any county in the state. But the marriage is recorded in the County in which the license was obtained. So it is very possible that the marriage license was obtained in Bracken county. If so, that is the county in which the record would be found. The marriage may have taken place in Bracken County or it may have taken place in Campbell County or any other county in the State, but the record would be in the county were the license was obtained. I hope this enables you to find the record. If not, please let me know and I will check the marriage records for Kenton county which is right across the Licking river from Campbell County.
