Ward Family Marriage Records

Part 22, South Carolina

Sponsored by the Ward Family Club

Welcome to the Ward Family Club's History section on Ward family marriage records. These records are presented in the hope they may help you know and understand your ancestors better and help you get started in preserving your own immediate family history. Gathering and preserving Ward family marriage records is a very important part of our goal of preserving our Ward family history. We need your help in this project.

This website is sponsored by the Ward Family Club, a national, non-profit family club for all descendants of Ward families. These marriage records have been obtained from a variety of sources, including directly from courthouse records, published books and magazines, family Bible records and from lists sent in by relatives.

If you came directly to this page, be sure and visit the Ward Family Club's HOME page: you can jump from there to our other sites, including the family NEWSLETTER (with news of Ward kinfolk), the main HISTORY page, the QUERIES section (where you can post a message in search of a "lost" ancestor) and our other sites.

South Carolina

NOTE: South Carolina was the only American colony which did not require either a marriage bond nor license. After independence, this was the only Southern state which still maintained this practice and did not begin requiring a marriage license until about 1912; therefore, no "public" marriage documents exist before this time. Only a few church records of marriages are available today prior to the 1900's.
