Shelby  County, Indiana
Marriages

          The Courthouse has marriage records beginning in 1822 - present.  The records are in the Clerk's office.  For copies, write to:  Clerk's Office, P.O. Box 198, Shelbyville, IN 46176, Attn Phyllis.  Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a money order ($1 for each copy) made out to the Shelby Co IN Clerk's Office.
          Something to keep in mind:   Indiana  did not  require a bond for a marriage.  The only names appearing on the marriage records are those of the bride, the groom, the marriage official and the clerk who signed the license.  Marriage affidavits were used from 1876-1879 (see below).  It was not until the 1880's that marriage returns were used.  It was not until the 1900's that marriage applications were adopted.  Both the returns and applications include information on the parents of the bride and groom.  Maurice Holmes has compiled the marriage returns information in several volumes available at the library.
          The information available in the table below is copied from books of transcriptions of the original documents.  Please email me with corrections/questions.  I will personally check the originals at the courthouse -- PMF
