William and Ada Rose Taylor get married!

I went to the Family History Library yesterday to do some research on the RANSON line but had this marriage license look-up in my RootsMagic to-do list. Since I was there, I thought I might as well pull up the microfilm.

William and Ada Rose, about 1905

William Taylor (b 1871) and Ada Rose Taylor (b. 1872) – yes they have the same last name, they are 1st cousins once removed – were married on 3 September 1890 in Logan, Utah Territory. Their marriage license was registered in Weber County since they were both from that county.

Weber County, Utah, “Marriage Licenses 1887-1946”: certificate no. 493, issued 30 Aug 1890, William Taylor and Ada Rose Taylor, certified 3 Sept 1890; FHL microfilm 1324660.

Notes:

• I can now add William and Ada’s signatures to my stash. I’m planning on making a signature family tree so this will help. I love seeing the handwriting of the people of researching!
• I’m not sure what the marriage age restrictions were at the time and why William’s father had to give permission for the marriage. 19 and 18 years old is young, so that might be why…some additional research is needed on that.
• According to FamilySearch they were sealed in the Logan LDS Temple on 3 Sept 1890 so I assume that is where they were married civilly as well (if it was like my sealing they just signed the certificate and then were sealed).

Marriage License – Victor and Pearl Lund

I’m excited to work further back on the Taylor side of the family, but before I can do that I need to make sure I know all I can about each generation. Starting with Victor Lund and his wife Edith Pearl Taylor.

M74786-4, source film no. 1324681, nef. no. 5428 p467 #F (833), Victor Erastus Lund, 18 January 1911; digital images, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Family Search (www.familysearch.org : accessed 7 May 2011); Family History Library.

Last year I found the record of Victor and Pearl’s marriage on Family Search, but it was only the index and no image. On one of my trips to the Family History Library, I pulled up the film and copied it.

Transcription:

It’s so interesting to see that they were married in the same place as Troy and I were, the Salt Lake Temple. They were young, 19 and 22, which is only one year younger than Troy and I when we married almost 100 years later.

I love that this document also has their signatures:

I also love looking at photographs of our ancestors. It’s interesting how much Troy and our son James look like Victor –
