Hello, I'm new to the list, and have a question that has been nagging in the back of my head for about 2 years now. I am in hopes someone has come across this before and could shed some light please. About 2 years ago I travelled from CA to Bell Co. to research my gr gr gr grandpa, James Eden Williams. While in the courthouse, I studied the marriage journals. The old, huge book, first one that has Marriage Books A,B, and C in it. (or 1,2, and 3, can't remember now). The very last page of the first book, just before the division for the second book, was one odd hand-written page. No heading or title on the page. I have a copy of it here with me. It starts by listing three names: James E. Williams Jonathan Williams Wilkinson Melville There is a line drawn from each name over to the right hand side of the page. The small right hand column is entitled "FOLIO". Next to James E. Williams' name, under Folio, is the number one (1). Same next to Jonathan's name. Melville's number is 5. I questioned every employee I could find in that courthouse, as to what FOLIO was. No one had ever heard of it or seen it. Neither James nor Jonathan were listed in the first book of marriages (or 2nd or 3rd, for that matter). I know my James E. Williams married while living in Bell Co., circa late 1851 or early 1852. And I just feel that if I could find that FOLIO, I would find his marriage listed. Since no one at the courthouse seems to know what I'm talking about, I thought I'd see if someone on this list could please help. Thanks, Teddy in CA
