Hi, can anyone tell me where to go to find my great grandfathers marriage. He is Harry Bell born 1876 in england. arrived in America 1912 and naturalized. On the 1920 census he is married to Della. So he married between 1912 and 1920. Also are there any records for naturalization i could look at. He settled in Lucus county Ohio and worked for an automobile factory. hope someone can help. thanks netnet

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html
- shows a death for Della Bell in 1940, husband Harry, parents Andrew Belcoure and Philomen Butrand.
http://www.ohiohistory.org/resource/archlib/marriag1.html - there's some info on Ohio marriages here.
http://www.ohiohistory.org/resource/archlib/natural.html - and on naturalization records.
Two of Della's brothers, Louis Belcoure and James Belcoure, both born Canada, married in Michigan (and are on the familysearch site). In 1881 I think the family are listed as Bellecourt in Ontario, Canada. Philomen(e)'s last name was probably Bertrand. Her death in Ohio is listed under the name Philamen Bellecoure (parents Joseph Bertrand and Eliza Droullard).
ETA: Also a marriage in Ontario as 'Belcour':
