Hello list: I have Marriage Record #2754 of my grandparent's Sept. 25, 1895 marriage in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, OH. The 3 line record called "Record of Publication of Bans" was found in the County's Vol 37. Query: Were couples asked to complete an "Application for a Marriage License" at that time which would provide more information than is contained on the Cuyahoga County Marriage Record? If so, where are the applications to be found? They were married in St. Mathew's Lutheran Church on 25 Sept. 1895 as shown in the church's book of marriages. Thanks George Houston

George and List, , Can you tell me how one accesses the Cuyahoga County Marriage Records? I am searching for my greatgrandfather, Charles John Bye, born 1863, a tailor, originally of Sweden, immigrated to New York c. 1891 followed by his wife Anna Maja and children. He is found with that family in the NY census through 1901. Subsequently he left the family and moved to Ohio, where I have found him in the 1920 and 1930 Ohio US census records as living with a different family: wife, Elnora M. age 47 (immigrated from Sweden 1900), and children, Lydia M., 16, Myrtle E., 15, Thelma, 9, and Clifford, 7. Family lore supports the move by Charles to Ohio and several other factors match, so I am fairly certain this is my man. I have no idea how to search the Ohio records between 1910 and 1920. I also had hoped to find the death record of Charles in Ohio, but so far no luck. I would be grateful for any advice.
