Bradford County Marriages 1885-1911

These pages are from the first nineteen books of the Bradford County PA marriages.
Pennsylvania did not require the recording of marriages prior to 1885.  There are many other pages on this site that compile earlier marriages from church and newspaper records.  You can also use the partitioned search engine Marriage category o the Search page of the site to search just marriages. This utility will find marriages that happen to be in the marriage directory. It will not find marriages that are recorded elsewhere, so you'll want to use the Clippings partition also and the Families partition. There are also many included on Heverly that you can locate using the Heverly books partition. You can also check the Bibles section.

Once again, we thank Pat SMITH Raymond for her amazing commitment to helping us get these records transcribed and available with ease from any place in the world. This project also ensures that the one of a kind original records will not be lost. Pat died of an auto accident in 2023, but her work remains here.

I have sorted these so that you can check the surname column alphabetically by both the woman's surname and the man's surname. This means that each record will be listed here twice, once under her name and once under his.

The marriage of Nathan Benjamin of Towanda and Maud Emery of Standing Stone.  Rev Edwin A. Garrett, Rector of the Christ Church.  3/18/1911.  Reva Wagner. Daily Review, towanda, PA.
  Hi Joyce,
     This one will confuse everyone.  I just learned that there is no Book #8 of Marriage Records.  There is, however, Book #7 Volume 1 and 2.  Most of the books have about 250 to 260 records in each book.  I just finished Book #7, Volume #1, and started Volume #2.  There are about 260 records in each of them so I assume that someone just kept going, and they never numbered a book as Book #8.
     Book #7, Volume 1 and 2, have been copied over from the originals, and they are much easier to read.  I'm not too sure about the person that did it.  I have found several page number missing, and suspect that they were just skipped.  There was also a problem in the front of Vol. #1, where several marriages were listed as being done in 1881 instead of 1891.  Denise told me to change any of them that I found, because all of the books are in date order, and it is impossible for them to be done in 1881.
     All in all, I am not too happy with this book.  I hope that they don't cause problems for anybody.
            Pat SMITH Raymond
