What information can you learn from a marriage license?  It varies from state to state.  In some states, there is a lot of information, in others, just the bare minimum.  Let's study this one.  

Sometimes when you are looking at a document image, it helps to put your heads together!

1.  The groom's name is John Clayton Givens
2.  The bride's name is Lavada Wood.  
3.  The government entity is Panama City, Florida.  (Bay County).  4.  The date is 14 September, 1941 
5.  The Witnesses to this marriage were Dorothy Wood and Viola Harwell.  6.  The certificate number is given (5424) and just above that is the information about where this marriage will be recorded, (Marriage Book 6, Page 240).  If you went to the Courthouse or whatever place the records are stored/archived, you would give this information and they would produce the document, either an actual "book" or a microfilmed image.   

Do you know who this person is (John Clayton Givens)?  Can you tell us more about this person?  Email me and I will post it!
