If I remember correctly, the information was added in a different handwriting and in a different colored ink. There are many perpetuated errors as a result of information that someone added at a later time. My own great-grandfather's marriage record has erroneous information added at a later time. I would caution anyone using Raleigh Co marriage records to check the original record to see if additional information was added at a later time. I have been concerned about this problem for many years. Had I not known my grandfather's parents' names, I could have been "stuck" for years because of the wrong information. If you have doubts about what I am saying, I can provide you the names of at least two other individuals that I know are personally aware of this problem. Anyone else encountered this problem in their Raleigh Co research? 1 Elizabeth "Lizzy" Williams b: 12 Apr, 1860 in Raleigh Co WV birth records. +Cyrus Kidd b: 9 Feb, 1857 in Raleigh Co VA m: 31 Jan, 1881 in Raleigh Co WV d: 15 Sep, 1928 Father: Charles Preston Kidd Mother: Emily Bailey 2 Giles H Kidd b: 1877 d: 1895 2 Minnie Kidd b: 14 Nov, 1882 in Raleigh Co WV d: 15 Aug, 1883 in Raleigh Co VA 2 Louella Kidd b: 14 Jul, 1884 +Garner R "Bunk" Evans b: 7 Aug, 1878 m: 25 Jul, 1900 Father: William Delano Evans Mother: Margaret Williams 3 Rose E Evans b: 1902 +John Aaron Arnold b: 2 Jun, 1883 in Raleigh Co WV Father: Jackson T Arnold Mother: Sarah "Sallie" Kidd 3 Leuanna "Annie" Evans b: 1904 +Emory James Any help with any of these families would be greatly appreciated.
