Marriage records from Tijuana, Mexico 1938
« on: Thursday 26 June 25 21:42 BST (UK) »
My great-uncle and his fiancé, both residents of San Francisco, California went over the border in 1938 and were married in Tijuana, Mexico. I have been unable to find the actual marriage date for them. Any suggestions on how to find out this information? His name: Harold John Morck (1903-1974); her name: Ellen Anna Kristina Johnson (1907-1997). Thanks SO much!

I see a tree with a picture of the couple near a sign that says "Tiajuana Mexico Special" and is labeled by the tree owner as EllenHaroldHoneymoon.  Looks like that was their honeymoon rather than their place of marriage.
