The answer is "Sometimes." I've seen many of the time period that do give the parent's names, but sometimes the person filing for the license may not have known, or if the bride was a widow or something, they seem to have felt they didn't need to fill that in. I would say that if it is the first marriage, the majority of the time, the parents are listed. Karen In a message dated 12/17/2007 6:20:51 P.M.

I have found a possible relative who was married in Oamha on Apr 17 1887; could anyone tell me if the record will contain parents names of bride and groom.
