Marriages
Our Lady of Refuge Catholic Church
Refugio
1869
Most of these marriages also appear in the County Clerk Marriage Records for Refugio County.  A marriage that is listed here and not recorded in Refugio is, perhaps, recorded in the Clerk's office in a neighboring county.

I have transcribed these marriage records from poor microfilm.  The copies were either very dark on the outer edges or very light and difficult to read.  I have copied the records just as they were written, including punctuation, spelling and capitalization. If you know of any corrections that need to be made, please contact me.

"The church records of Our Lady of Refuge Church begin with the year 1854.  Before that time this church was attended by priests from Galveston, and all prior baptisms, marriages, and deaths are recorded there. The records kept by the Franciscan Monks are at Matamoras, Mexico, and Our Lady of Refuge Church will soon come into possession of photostatic copies of these very valuable documents." 
[Source: Refugio Timely Remarks Centennial Edition, 1934, page 35.] 
[Note:  It is not known if these photostatic copies are presently kept at the Refugio church.]
