Orange Co. Florida Marriages 1869-1909 Volume 1
The records in our marriage books were extracted from the original marriage book ledgers at the Orange County Courthouse, Orlando, Florida.
The contents of Volume 1 of our Orange County Florida Marriages 1869-1909 publication is now available in the table below in a searchable format (using the search box below). This Volume contains over 5,000 marriage records from 1869 to 1909. To find out more about the full publication, or to purchase a print copy of these volumes please visit our Publications Page.
It should be mentioned here that the boundaries of Orange County changed during the period covered by this publication and that some of the areas mentioned in these records may no longer be in Orange. Orange County originally covered areas that are now in Brevard, Lake, Osceola and Seminole Counties. In 1887 Osceola County was formed from the southern part of Orange and parts of Brevard. Lake County was formed about the same time. In 1913 Seminole County was formed out of the northern part of Orange. For more information see the Orange County FlGenWeb and the History of Orange County Florida published in 1927.
Contents of the Marriage Table
In this online volume we provide the groom, bride, residence of each (if it was available), along with the marriage date and the Orange Co. Record Book and page number. As far as can be determined, all towns listed are in Florida unless stated otherwise. Spellings of town names varied greatly throughout the volumes. We have aimed for consistency, but in cases of doubt, names and towns were spelled as closely as possible to the original and noted with a “?”. Where the Book and Page number is marked with an “*” the license was issued but never returned to the County.
