About This Database
Oklahoma County marriages, 1889–1951
This microfilm was created by the LDS Church from the original marriage records housed at the Oklahoma County courthouse in Oklahoma City. The index includes brides and grooms who applied for a marriage license in Oklahoma County. All 175 volumes have been indexed; these date from 1889–1951.
Each record contains various information, as marriage records changed over the years. Marriage records consist of three parts: 1, the “Affidavit on Application for a Marriage License,” 2, the marriage license, and 3, the certificate of marriage. Most records include the name of the bride and groom, ages, and the ceremony date; some include the birthplace. Records that include a permission document list the parents of one or both parties. Later records include an address. Although these records are from Oklahoma County, they include brides and grooms from across the state and country.
