Linda Quinn used the county clerk's index books to index the bride and the groom in Howard Co marriage books. They all have reference to the book and page number and are divided into smaller groups (example 1860-1881 Bride A-D Groom). The marriage records themselves sometimes have more information, but often not. Sometimes because of the clerk's error there may be one date in the bride and a slightly different date in the groom index. But anytime anyone transcribes, there can be errors. It was a fabulous job, and I am so grateful. My people were primarily in Howard Co but the edges often blurred and marriages are found in both counties.
