The early
marriages listed in the Proof of Marriage (Index)are, as
best determined, the marriages added from various
sources, i.e. the parties themselves, ministers, etc.
The
early
marriages in Marriage Book # 1, I have transcribed as listed in
book
1
of marriages, dating from 1911 thru 1914. There are a few 1915.
The marriages are listed on pages A - Z according to groom's
surname.
However, there are some that do not begin with the letter they are
listed under. There are several listed on the B page that do not begin
with B. The
free find search feature on the front page will be an advantage for
locating a person of interest.
The
books are housed at the Office of the Judge of Probate in Dillon, South
Carolina.
Some do not have license numbers and therefore no copy will be
filed. Some do not have dates of marriage but do have a
license number. I do not know if the date appears on the license.
A copy of those that do have a license number can be ordered from the
Office of the Judge of Probate. Instructions for ordering appear
at the end of this page.
These pages are transcriptions and even though I have tried not to,
errors can be easily made. The year of the marriage was not
always entered and not in order of date so mistakes in determining the
year are possible. If you discover a typo or error
please inform me and I will research it further. This is a
transciption and it is
always prudent to view the data first hand if possible. The book
is very fragile and pages could not be copied.
To obtain a copy of a marriage you must request it in writing or by
visiting the the office personally. There is a fee of $5.00 for each
copy. Only money orders made out to the Judge of Probate will be
accepted. No checks or credit cards. I am in no way an employee
of the county. My works are strictly on a volunteer basis, so
please do not ask me to get a copy for you.
