Madison County Vital Records

Death Records

Mortality Schedules

In conjunction with the 1850-1900 Federal Census, Mortality Schedules were taken within each county.  These schedules recorded the names of every person who died during the 12 months preceding the census date, along with other information such as age, birth place and cause of death.  The 1850-1880 Mortality Schedules for Madison County are online here.
(Unfortunately, the 1890 and 1900 Mortality Schedules were destroyed).

Death Certificates

The State of Georgia began registering deaths in 1919.  The information included on Death Certificates varies depending on the year, but typically includes the full name of the decedent, date and place of birth and death, name and birthplace of both parents, and other information such as occupation, military service, and spouse's name.

Marriage Records

Marriages were recorded in Madison County from the county's creation in 1811.  Most marriages took place in the bride's county of residence.   Marriage records typically include the names of bride and groom, and often the name of the person who performed the marriage.  Later records include the ages of the bride and groom.  These records generally do not include the names of the bride and groom's parents.
