St. Charles County Marriages 1805–1858
Index of St. Charles County, first three books, from records copied and held at Archives. Handwriting is often extremely hard to decipher in 1840s especially. Occasionally two pages have the same number, sometime with added letters, which should be kept in mind when looking up a record. Numbers begin with 1 for each book, so date will decide which record book to consult. The first three books of the county have been divided into five books, at the Archives, for ease of use.
Earliest records may have the name of the recorder, instead of a minister or church official. The books dealt with in this index are:
- Book 1 1805–1826, 217 records
- Book 2 1826–1837, 466 records
- Book 2B 1837–1844, 553 records
- Book 3 1844–1850, 586 records
- Book 3B 1850–1854, 567 records
There are 2,389 records indexed here. However a few marriages have been recorded twice. Spelling is as written, not as the name may have been commonly spelled by the family.
