Hi Carolyn... I'd try the NC State Library. The URL is: http://statelibrary.dcr.state.nc.us/iss/gr/genealog.htm. They have lots of the Granville Co. documents as well as books listing marriage bonds, etc. I don't know what their policy is on lookups, but you can find out from their website. Hope this helps.
