County, Kentucky Marriages, 1882-1910, abstracted
by Dorothy Donnell Steers for the benefit of the Simpson
County Historical Society was published by the Society in
May, 2003. The format of these records has changed
during the years. In addition to names of brides
and grooms and dates of marriage, the book includes the
place of residence, age, number of marriage, and
birthplacs of not only the brides and grooms but their
parents, the occupation of he groom, the bondsman, and
the names of witnesses and person performing the
ceremony. In some instances the place whee the
ceremony took place is included. Beginning in June
1901, the names of the parents of both bride and groom
are included. Beginning in 1904, the names of
witnesses, surety on bond and minister were omitted in
order to conserve space. This book is interesting
to those with Simpson County roots not only for the years
1882-1910 but for the preceding years which would have
included the parents of the bridal parties. There are also a
good many marriages between persons living in areas
other than Simpson County. Price: $31.80
