Marriage Register of Washington County, North Carolina
Register Entries for Which No License Exists
1872 (continued)


At this point the format of the marriage register changes. Up to this point all marriages were recorded chronologically as they were returned to the Register of Deeds. After this point they are recorded chronologically by the first letter of the groom's surname. License numbers were no longer recorded, nor were parents names. The residence of the bride and groom, the location of the marriage and witnesses to the marriage were added. Transcriptions of the marriage register entries continue to be presented chronologically.
