KEVERAN, VINCENT posted by Joann Buettell on Thursday, September 23, 1999

In Book 1 page 139 of the lost marriage records, it lists John KEVERAN and Jane VINCENT as being married in Jo Daviess county on Nov 28, 1839. Could someone look up for me and see if there is any other info such as parents names. Thanks.

KEVERN, VINCENT posted by Marjorie Smith on Thursday, September 23, 1999

The KEVERN VINCENT marriage was not lost. It is in the Jo Daviess County courthouse in Book 1 page 139. The only additional information I have is that they were married by Josiah Conlee, JP. I don't think there is more information. The County Clerk does not allow people to look at the original marriage book unless the $7.00 copy fee is paid. Even those of us who live here can't help you, wish we could. Note by Cheryl Hemingway: You can take a look at the marriage record by ordering film # 1602650 via your local Family History Center.
