Hi, Thanks to all the volunteers who have been listing marriage and death records we discovered new information on my husband's grandfather. In the Pittsburgh Press dated August 3, 1896 we read "Stubenville, O., Alexander O'Brien and Lizzie Doake, a youthful appearing Pittsburg couple, were married here yesterday evening after wandering about four hours". We obtained a copy of the Marriage Certificate from Jefferson County, Ohio, and the couple gave their ages as 21 and 18, actually they were 16 and 14 1/2. I am curious as to what the requirements to get a marriage license in Allegheny County were in 1896. Thanks, Pat in Florida

Pat: I think it might have been 14 with parents consent and 21 without.
