Addresses for Knox and for Bell are on line. That does not necessarily mean that all information one is looking for will be there. Sometimes they simply did not enter the parental info. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA p.s. The information I quoted from is from an Index to Bell Co. marriages which is a transcription for sale from the records in the Bell Co. courthouse. For Knox Co., there are any number of transcribed marriage books available for purchase through the Knox Co. Gen. Society.
