Harrie Carl Van Zandt/Nellie Jenkins

Looking for information re marriage in 1890's in New York State.  Likely in Seneca Falls or Cortland area but may be Syracuse as both worked there.  Daughter Susie was listed as born either Seneca Falls or Cortland. I have lots re: family but no record of marriage.

Do you have dates/places of birth for this couple?  When was their daughter born?  Do you have them on census records?  Those might help to narrow down when the marriage occurred.

harrie b.1868, Nellie b. 1873 oldest daughter Winnifred b. 1895 so I assumed marriage to be 1893-4 but not conclusive. Their parents were found living in same locations in 1890's that being Syracuse, NY

For those looking for a marriage, his parents were Peter Van Zandt and Louise M Collier ( Not Teale as some sites have listed, as the other same named, similar aged Vanzandt couple of Peter & Louise M were having babies at the same time but in Michigan...)
This site has the wrong mother listed http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/l/o/w/William-Earl-Low-Ontario/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0032.html

The 1900 Census (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.2/1BK2-N76/p_66708460) says they had been married for 6 years, so 1894 sounds about right. 

You could request a look-up in the marriage index as described in this blog post:  http://www.unyg.com/blog/index.php/2008/03/new-york-state-vital-records-microfiche-indexes-update/

In case anyone finds this and doubts there are 2 Louisa M Van Zandt/VanZandt of similar age married to Peters...It really is a coincidence, but here they are in 1880...

More proof of which Louisa M was correct...

That's a great site, Shelley, how nice that they'll do some free lookups!
