Title: Marriage License for Granfather
Post by: Formernewyorker on Sunday 19 May 24 04:59 BST (UK)
Hi, Found my grandfather on 1900 New York census with his first wife. Is there a way to get a copy of their marriage license? Names were Thomas Nevin & Winifred Benson.

Thanks,

New York City just had marriage certificates then.  Marriage licenses didn't start there until 1908.
