I am trying to get a copy of the marriage record, license and application for my grandparents. I hope that SKS would be able to assist me in solving this riddle. Family lore indicated that the marriage took place in the Bronx in 1926 which concurs with the recollections of my mother and aunt. But, all indices searches or look-ups by the Archives and NYC Health department indicated that NO such event was EVER recorded!! Recently, however, I found some documents which seem to shed some light on the situation but I am not exactly sure how to proceed. So, I can use any help or guidance. From recently uncovered documents, it appears that the record of the marriage, held in the Bronx at the Jacob H. Schiff Center on February 7, 1926 was somehow either LOST or NOT filed with the Bronx City Clerk by the Rabbi immediately after the marriage. One of the documents that I recently found is a Certificate (No. 5199) from the Clerk of the County of Bronx and Clerk of the Supreme Court dated July 15, 1940. In this Certificate, the Clerk certifies that "I have compared the within photographic copy of Certificate and Record of Marriage between Maurice R. Harrison and Irene C. Tuck, the original of which is endorsed as filed in my office bearing date of September 3, 1935." Furthermore, I have a letter from the Rabbi, dated July 10, 1940, confirming the time and place of the marriage (February 7, 1926 at the Schiff Center) and that the "marriage was recorded with the City Clerk, Borough Hall, County of the Bronx." So, it appears that there was a delayed filing of the marriage record with the Bronx Clerk's Office. With this background, how would I get the following items: 1. Marriage Application and License as filed with the Bronx Clerk's Office in 1926. What are the fees and to whom do I send the request?; and 2. A copy of the official marriage record (marriage certificate), that was apparently filed several years later on September 3, 1935. What are the fees and to whom do I send the request? Also, if anyone has access to the September, 1935 certificates or indices, is it possible to locate the official record number? In summary, the details are: Morris (Maurice Robert) Harrison wed Irene C. Tuck at the Schiff Center in the Bronx on February 7, 1926. The official recording of the marriage was not done until September 3, 1935. I hope that you are not as confused as I am!!! Any assistance in locating the proper records or procedures would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - jerry
