I'm looking for a marriage record of William Boyd Short, married to Caroline Wariner or Warren. Their only child, Charles McPherson Short. On Charles death certificate it mentions his parents names.. The closest that I can figure out that William probably got married in the late 60's but no later then 1872, because that's when Charles McPherson Short was born. I have not been able to place William Boyd Short on the 1870 census. So I want to think that he was married after 1870 but no later then 1872. Remember Charles was born in 1872. If you happen to have a marriage record book on hand could you please check the index. for William Boyd Short and Caroline Wariner or Warren. Charlotte

Charlotte, What I have are cds that list only name of groom, name of bride, date and location of marriage. I'll look this up tomorrow when I have a day off work ... I work 6 days a week right now. Kentucky is notorious for keeping bad records before 1900s so please don't be too hopeful.
