Rose and Sodus |
The typescript of the list of marriages that took place in Wayne County in 1850 was provided to us by the Wayne County Office of the County Historian to help you better formulate questions when visiting the society or ordering mail searches. We all hope this list provides clues to ancestral location and surnames. We assume many of the couples joined the migration out to Michigan and other points west. If you recognize anyone on this list, please drop a line to Martha so it can be noted next to their listing.
As you scan the listings you'll see unusual spellings. They're not typos we've made but can be attributed to the original typist's interpretation of old handwriting, or assumptions made by the registrars of the births. If a spelling differs from that of your ancestral surname, or births didn't take place in the townships you thought your ancestors were from, don't pass them by. Jot them down...just in case. A date and location can be used to search in the 1850 census or the info may turn out useful to others searching your surnames.
During years 1847 - 1850 some New York State counties officially recorded information about births, marriages and deaths. Then they just stopped. Not all counties preserved this early information so each county must be taken on a case-by-case basis in making inquiries of societies. Required birth registration didn't start in New York State until 1880, over 30 years after the 1847 - 1850 events were recorded, and wasn't really enforced until 1900. New York State death registration wasn't required until just after 1900. Marriage certificates were issued in the 1860s but kept by the couple and written down by the person performing the marriage.
