Most counties in the state have a complete index of the state and the actual document (it is copied from the actual document) for their county. I believe that the index of marriages is indexed by bride and groom. (If this is not true, would someone please let us know.) If you don't live in Wisconsin, you could ask someone to check the index for you. Please remember these are the marriages that were registered, and not all marriages, birthes and deaths were registered at that time. Many birthes, marriages and deaths were only recorded in church records and were not registered with the state. Good Luck with your search. :)
