The 1860 US census asks if the person was married within the census year. It can be easy to overlook this column, particularly if the person is someone you don’t think would have gotten married during the census year. This can be a significant clue, particularly in locations that do not have marriage records.

The 1860 US census indicates a mark for those individuals who were married in the 12 calendar months preceding the date of the 1860 census.
