| More details about Indiana, 1851-1900 Marriage Index: |
This data collection contains information on approximately
292,000 individuals who were married in Indiana between 1851 and 1900. It includes
previously uncollected information from thirty-six Indiana counties. Indiana was
one of only three states whose counties issued marriage applications prior to
the Civil War. The first law regulating marriages in Indiana was implemented in
1788 and marriage licenses became mandatory in 1800. If an Indiana ancestor's
marriage record cannot be located in Indiana, you may wish to check the Cincinnati
marriage records since many couples from Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana were wed
there. While statewide registration of marriages was not required until 1958,
prior to 1940 it was necessary for a couple to obtain a license from the county
in which the female resided. For a complete breakdown of the counties covered,
