Select Marriages in Simpson County, Mississippi:

 

Simpson County, MS Marriage records, vol.1 through vol. 4

Family History Library microfilm rolls #886969 (vol 1-2)  #886970 (vol 3-4)

 

Please note that these were transcribed from microfilm by myself and are written as they appeared to me.  Someone else might read them slightly differently, but I did my best with the old handwriting.  Some names will include only a page number, depending on how they were indexed.  The only names I transcribed were those surnames I believed might connect to my collateral lines.  The actual marriage date may be slightly different than the date shown, as the records appear to have been indexed by the date of license issue, rather than the date of the ceremony.  As with all information on my website, feel free to use it in connection with your own research, but please give credit to the source (contact me if you’re unclear) and do not under any circumstances sell the information.  I urge anyone who does genealogical research to VERIFY all sources, including obtaining copies of the original documents.  Human error exists on all levels, and can easily exist in individual research projects where one person has done the work without a second to confirm/verify/consult.
