Is there anyway to find marriges in USA, In my ongoing saga of Louis Molloy, I was wondering how I can find a record of his marriage, or that of his daughter, Kathleen. Ancestry doesn't seem to be as useful for US marriges, or I'm not doing it properly! Suex

I'm new to this but I'm in the US. Can you give me any specifics and i'll see what i can find.

What year are you expecting? There are some on IGI Louis Elly

Could this be Kathleen?? Husband Thomas D. LAMBERT Birth: 1868 Ennis, Clare, Ireland Christening: Marriage: 17 MAY 1887 Chicago, Cook, Illinois Death: 17 JUN 1898 Chicago, Cook, Illinois Burial: 20 JUN 1898 Mt Olivet Cem -,Chicago, , , Illinois Wife Kathleen OR Katherine MOLLOY Birth: AUG 1866 , Offaly, Ireland Christening: Marriage: 17 MAY 1887 Chicago, Cook, Illinois Death: Chicago, Cook, Illinois Burial: Children 1.

Elly, I think the ones you have found are too old..... The 2 people I'm interested in are :- Louis Walter Molloy b 1983, London, England. ? married Herta? from South Dakota. They lived in Iowa. and Kathleen Molloy, b, c1924, Iowa. Just wondered if she married at all, and therefore what her name would be. Suex

Shame, it's the only one listed I'm afraid Elly :)

Mmmmm, perhaps there just isn't the info I want, rather than I can't find it! Thanks for looking. Suex

Do you have any idea if they got married in england or iowa?

This is a good site. Old news archives from Iowa. Perhaps it would have marriage announcements. http://www.iowaoldpress.com/

Philip, I'm sure they would have married in US. Louis went there in about 1911 and never came back. He and a wife seem to be together on 1920 census, but it says he is from Ireland. on 1930 he is from England, with the same wife and a daughter. Suex

Whoops, just been reading another thread, I think you might be Helen! Why do I do this so late???? Sorry off to bed. Helen, I've had a look at that site, it looks good, but no mention, and I think it may be a little too old for what I need. Suex

Having had another look at things, I think the parents were probably married in South Dakota, but may have mooved soon after. Suex

Sue, I know you are interested in the marriage, but do you have this (and is it the same one): Louis Molloy Last Residence: 50021 Ankeny, Polk, Iowa, United States of America Born:15 Jan 1893 Died: Apr 1972 State (Year) SSN issued: Iowa (Before 1951 ) It includes a Social Security number that I can send to you.

Sue, he may have remarried. Someone on 'Rootsweb' mentioned him. http://wc.rootsweb*com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi (replace * with .) Enter his name and ten results will pop up. If you click on his name, it will give you the brief details.
