Hi All,

I would like to find a marriage for my ggrand parents who were married in
Licking County, probably around 1831. I have the marriage book produced by
the Licking County Genealogy Society in 1984, but it does not contain the
information on James CUMMINS and Mary DICKINSON. The introduction to the
book states that three marriage record books covering the period 1808-1829
were not destroyed in the court house fire of 1875, but there was no book
for the 1829-1839 period. They surmise that this book was destroyed in the
fire.

I wrote a similar book on naturalizations for my county in California.
While I was taking my inventory of all the books available at the county
Recorder's Office, I found that three were missing from the set. I put out
the word to the County Recorder and various other department heads in the
county and within a few months all the "missing" books were found. The
records are now complete starting with the date the county was formed.

I am wondering whether the 1829-1839 marriage book may have been found since
the LCGS wrote their book in 1984. Does anyone know if this is the case?

Thank you for your help.
