This, from Bronx County 1916 Marriage License: Page 1 Heading: "State of New York Affidavit for License to Marry." [Dated 19 Sept 1916, signed by Bride & Groom and Bronx Clerk] Page 2 Heading: "New York State Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics, Certificate and Record of Marriage" [Dated 19 Sept 1916, signed by Bride, Groom and Bronx City County Clerk] Page 3 Heading: "To Clergymen and Magistrates" [Dated 19 Sept 1916; signed by Bride, Groom and Priest] Completed by Priest Barb [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Bob Raynor <[email protected]> I haven't looked at the site; but in my research the Affidavit is for applying for a marriage license and there is also either on the same page the marriage information or there is a separate marriage license.

I do not know. Perhaps another reader knows? Yes, the header of NYC Marriage Licenses 1908-1951 says "State of New York Affidavit for License to Marry." Yes, we've learned that NYC and NYS records are kept separately. Yes, Westchester County NY has an Index to Marriage Licenses online 1908-1935. http://archives.westchestergov.com/browse-all-online-indexes-main/marriages-index Barb [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: James Castellan <[email protected]> Dear Barb, From your post, I noticed: "The Marriage License header title says "State of New York Affidavit for License to Marry." but your header states: "NYC Marriage Procedure 1908 - 1951". Was a marriage license only required for NYC marriages during the 1908-1951 period or was this requirement state-wide? Thanks. Jim
