My experience has been very poor info on marriage certificate. Full names and the names of the bondsmen. Could be relatives. Sometimes who married them. Get your lookup and they can tell you.

Do I write Gibson Co. Court House or TN State Archives? Has anyone ever written for a marriage certificate around that time period? If so what information did it tell you. I've requested and paid for documents before and the information was very poorly documented. So I thought I would ask before I requested this time. >Thanks >Becky >
