Marriage

Marriage license images are available from FamilySearch.org in the Marriage records, 1850-1967 dataset. There is an index to the record group but the images are not linked. The film can be browsed, though, so finding an image of the document is possible.

The majority of the images viewed to-date are of the combination Marriage License, Parental Consent, and Officiant's Return document common in North Carolina.

The microfilm is arranged by the first letter of the groom's last name for the entire range of years. This makes it possible to find multiple generations of the same family on one film. Within the film, the records do not fall in any discernible pattern other than sometimes grouped by surnames.

Some film titles include the word "Colored," implying that the film contains only records for people of color. This is inaccurate. The film number referred to in the index record will contain the image; it's just a matter of finding it. Check the beginning and ending of the film.
