While most couples who took out a marriage license did marry, it is always possible that they did not. If there is a record that a couple got a license, indicate in your records that it is a license date, not a marriage date. Even if they did marry, there’s no guarantee that they married on the same date as the license. And clearly indicating that the date is a license date tells others (and yourself) that the marriage record has not been located. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
