My grandparents (Gail B BROWN aka JACK and Bertha Frances PETERNELL) "supposedly" got married in Aug of 1934. I wrote to the Akron court to request a copy of the record. They searched and found none. Then in talking to an Aunt she said they might have "ran off" to Wellsburg, WV and married there. I wrote to the court house and they searched and have no record there either. I am going to maybe check the surrounding counties as it was suggested they maybe got a licence in a surrounding county just married in Wellsburg. (THOUGHTS?) My grandfather also mentioned they ran off because there was a killing over the wedding planning a jealous)person to wanting the wedding to happen (don't really think that happened tho). This would have been in Akron as they met in a park over there somewhere. So in my search I found out from an aunt that they married in the church so the kids could go to the Catholic Church and make their commencement. I was able to get a copy of the information from St Bernard's Church there is Akron. (April 4 1941) My question as I am not familiar with the catholic guidelines for them to marry in the church if they were already married would they had to have showed proof or gotten another license to do this? Did the children have to be baptized in order to attend school and church. Thanks in advance for any advice on this Kim **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.
