marriage-welty-spear-1891: Marriage license and return for Samuel Welty and Margaret J. Spear (1891); Marriage records, Circuit Court, Owen County, Indiana, 1819-1957, record collection, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org: accessed 18 Feb 2024), DFN 4170557, MFN 1312984, image 201; page 332, entry 2; citing “Indiana Commission on Public Records, Indianapolis; FamilySearch in partnership with Indiana Genealogical Society; collection of name index and images of marriages recorded in the Indiana Territory and in the State of Indiana” [The surname Spear is based on Margaret’s signature, not the name as entered on the form, which uses Spears.]

Comment Detail: Source includes date (11th day of April 1881) and location (State of Iniana, Owen County). The entry includes a license and a return. However, it likely isn't the original. The license is held within a book (rather than being something that could be given to the solemniser) and it states (on the form, not written in) that the return "certificate was filed in my office." In addition, the license date is "16 of April, 1881," five days after the marriage date given above.
