An even more valuable source for the genealogist is an original application for a marriage license. Together these two records marriage certificate and marriage license could contain the names of parents, dates and places of birth of the bride and groom, relatives who appeared as witnesses or bondsmen, places of residence, and clues to religious affiliation (which could lead to church records of children, burial records of other family members, etc)."
