Be aware of the description of this database that limits its coverage.

"This update adds marriage records for Jessamine, Lyon, Marshall, and
Rockcastle counties to those of Christian, Henderson, Hopkins, Logan, and
Pulaski counties between 1851 and 1900. Taken from microfilm copies of
original county documents, each record provides spouses' names, marriage
date, and county of residence. The database contains the names of more than
60,000 men and women. Records for "white" individuals and "colored"
individuals were kept in separate volumes. This database only includes the
volumes of "white" marriages."
