I know that you can call the office and have them search -- I've done this myself, though to no avail. However, I did find announcement of the granting of the license in a MD paper -- via Godfrey's service. I could search that for you if you like.

The problem is, I don't know her maiden name. But she was married previously. Her death certificate lists her father, but puts her mother as unknown because it asks for the maiden name. And the certificate says the death was reported by the supertendent of Montevue Hospital. And he probably wouldn't have know her mother's maiden name. She married a William Nuse born April 1841 (which was the second marriage) that's the one I am hoping to find so it might give her mothers first name. That would give me a start. She is Leathe (sometimes Leatha) H. Nuse born November 1846. Her first son was born April 1890. Makes it hard to find her before that. The death certificate says she was born in Maryland, but she was born in Virginia as were her parents as she reported on the census. I am postive about this because the father Owen T. Sealock was born and lived in Virginia. And I don't think the supertendent would not have know for sure that she was born in Virginia. Any assistance would be appreciated. It is a long trek from Minnesota to Maryland.
