Roberta; This was fascinating. I found the marriage record although I am not sure how much info it will give you but a date. Here is the transcription: Source: San Diego 1-176 Marriage License State of California County of San Diego I do hereby authorize any Judge, Justice of the Peace, Clergyman or Preacher of the Gospel to celegrate and certify the marriage of Ellar Machillar with Eliza Jones and In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and official seal this 30th day of May 1871. Chalmers Scott County Clerk Marriage Certificate I certify that in pursuance of the above License, Ellar Machillar and Eliza Jones were by me this day united in matrimony, 30th day of May A.D. 1871. Samuel McDonald Pastor, Presbyterian Church San Diego Filed for Record June 10th, 1871. Recorded June 10th 1871. Chalmers Scott County Recorder by Ell Peter, Deputy NOTE: This was all hand written. Hope this helps.
