The following information comes from Page 3 of the Register of Marriage in Christian Co., IL obtained from IRAD in Springfield IL. I have typed the information as it was written. (My abbreviations: b.d.= birth day; b. = Born)The handwriting suggests two or three different individuals entered data. I have proofed them to the best of my ability using a magnifying glass to ensure as much accurcy as possible.
