Where Can I Find Marriage Records?

If you need to find marriage records, in Jackson County North Carolina, one of the first places to look is the Clerk of Court’s office.

There are several websites that offer this information for free, although some charge a small fee for processing and retrieving the information. It is also much faster to search online.

However, before you begin your search, you will need to have as much information as possible. These include names of those involved, date of birth, any witnesses or even where the ceremony was held. If the information is available, have them provide you with a copy of the marriage certificate or obituary. Then you can begin searching.

Marriage records are not normally available to the general public and you will need an appointment before you can proceed. This is usually done by the county, the marriage occurred in. You can call the county courthouse and ask them if they have the records you need. A clerk may be able to look them up for you or make a phone call to see if they have the information you need.

These services do charge a fee but the information they provide is more extensive than the records that the courthouse usually maintain. They can also be more convenient since they are not restricted to where the wedding took place. Most are very large and contain all of the information you need to perform a search.

Many sites also allow you to be able to pick out certain areas that you want to search. So if you are interested in the Bell County marriage records, you can choose specific locations. You can then narrow down your search to only these locations. You will be given the information you need immediately. Some sites also let you do an even deeper search by allowing you to input additional information about the couple.
