[or-roots] Marriage record question Thompson - Benson

[Leslie Chapman]

This is very much a crap shoot what you will get; as others have said all you may get is a bare bones license copy, which may either be a somewhat decorative item, or just the recording entry of it in the county books. On some records you get a real bonanza though. I have had marriage records where one or both children were under age that included depositions from one or both parents of the groom and bride that the marriage was approved of and birth dates of both and sometimes of the parents too.

That said my never having pulled an entry for Clatsop county I would have to defer to Sue and Denise in their assessment it is probably a bare license copy.

and whether it is worth trying to obtain a copy?

Thanks in advance
