Marge Unfortunately marriage applications for any year seem to give very little information. I know my own from 1969 gives only our names, ages, and whether we were previously married, and I never signed it, my groom applied for it and signed it, I never had anything to do with it. I think the only time a parent's name might appear on them is if the bride or groom is underage and permission needed to be given. I recall an interesting family story about one of my relatives from the early 1900's. She had a suitor but these days we would call him a stalker. He kept after her to even allow him to court her, but she wanted nothing to do with him. He actually applied for, and was given a marriage license and attempted to get her to marry him by force. Family history says that her father and brothers managed to step in and "convince" him to go away and leave her alone. If you don't know dates of birth or bride's maiden name they would be useful but otherwise probably not much. Jo Hogle In a message dated 12/5/2007 8:27:40 P.M.
