This is definitely a quest! Thanks so much for your response Joanne. Just wondering, you paid $20 for each?

I have definitely obtained copies of marriage licenses after 1868 from the NC Archives, one from 1881 and another from 1912. I didn't ask them - I simply filled out the out-of-state request form available on their webiste, ignored the dates they give on it, and requested the one I wanted. I had to pay the $20 (no getting around that!), but I received copies of the licenses. No one said anything about it, they just sent them. That was a year or so ago, but it worked then.

I would be willing to bet that the marriage licenses you want are on microfilm at the nc state archives. I'm sure the indexes are. You'd be better off ordering a copy of the microfilm for $12 per reel and taking it to your local library to view/print/save to CD. If you have an LDS regional family genealogy library near you, they will order the microflm for you.

Yes, Tee. The Archives has no slack on the fee! If you live out of state, it's $20 a pop, and if they search and find nothing, you're still out the $20, so be sure you know the marriage is there before you send the money! Good luck. Joanne Gaudio
