Amelia County, Virginia Marriages 1881
This page was last updated on: April 5, 2011
The definitions for the abbreviations below are as follows :
Ame. Co.- Amelia County
W- white  AA- African-American
gp- groom's parents  bp- bride's parents
go- groom's occupation    Md.- married
gb- groom born  bb- bride born
gr-  groom resides  br- bride resides

These are from a microfilm reel of Marriages, Amelia County
Whatever clerk recorded these marriages originally back in 1881 did not have the best handwriting, so I have done the best I can trying to read the copies I made from the microfilm and transcribe them. A question mark usually means I could not read the names or information. When I have time I may go back to the film again and see if I can read some names better.
