Tee, I don't know who you may have spoken with at the Wake Co. Register of Deeds Office, but you CAN obtain a photocopy of the marriage record - whatever the year, be it the bonds which run up to 1868, or the licenses that begin thereafter - from the Wake Co. RofD office. While the *original* bonds & licenses prior to 1930 are stored at State Archives, the Wake Co. RofD office DOES maintain those records on microfilm (as stated on the website) and can (and will) make photocopies from the microfilms. Uncertified copies are listed as 15- cents. Please visit this webpage for details: http://web.co.wake.nc.us/rdeeds/faq-general.htm#Marriage%20license% 20copies states: "Original marriage records from 1931 to present are stored in our office. Original marriage records from 1800 to 1930 are stored at State Archives (733-3952). However, microfilm copies of the older records are available in our office." ------ If that is not the information you were given, then re-contact the office and ask to speak specifically with Register of Deeds Laura Riddick (919-856-5460), or email Ms. Riddick at: lriddick@co.wake.nc.us Hope this helps, Sandy On May 20, 2007, at 9:13 AM, Tee Richardson wrote: > I did contact Register of deeds.
