Just last week I received a very nice reply to a letter I had written to Jennifer, the town hall clerk. When she had time, she was able to look up 5 marriage dates for me ( I had approximate years and the names of both spouses) She did it free but it was just date information. If you want an official certified document, it will be $7 (US). Address your request to Jennifer, Town Hall Clerk office, Norwood Town Hall, P.O. Box 40, Norwood, MA 02062. It worked for me!
