Lake County, Indiana, Marriage Book Index: 1837-1920

The indexes below were developed from the marriage license books located in Lake County, Indiana, starting in 1837. The application for marriages at that time gave no other information than what you will find in our index. Both the groom and bride indexes will give you the following: the book number, page number, a license number, application number, groom and bride’s name, age (if given), a second spelling (if given), and the marrying official. We have added the church name (if given) in the notes columns and whether there was consent by a parent or nearest relative.

The database contains a total of 50,796 marriages from first 41 marriage books spanning from 1837 to 1920. We have provided a bride index and a groom index sorted by first letter of surname.

A link to a form is available for mailing the Lake County Clerk’s office for obtaining a copy of the license and application you might want [Lake County Marriage License and Application Order Form]. The clerks have asked that you send in no more than three requests at one time.

The Northwest Indiana Genealogy Society would like to thank the many volunteers who have taken the time to help in indexing the marriages in Lake County, Indiana.
