Simpson County, Kentucky
Marriages, 1882-1910, abstracted by Dorothy Donnell Steers for
the benefit of the Simpson County Historical Society was published by
the Society in May, 2003. The format of these records has changed
during the years. In addition to names of brides and grooms and
dates of marriage, the book includes the place of residence, age, number
of marriage, and birthplacs of not only the brides and grooms but their
parents, the occupation of he groom, the bondsman, and the names of
witnesses and person performing the ceremony. In some instances
the place whee the ceremony took place is included. Beginning in
June 1901, the names of the parents of both bride and groom are
included. Beginning in 1904, the names of witnesses, surety on
bond and minister were omitted in order to conserve space. This
book is interesting to those with Simpson County roots not only for the
years 1882-1910 but for the preceding years which would have included
the parents of the bridal parties.
There are also a good many marriages between persons living in areas
other than Simpson County. Price: $30
