Ward Dollarhide Marriage certificate

 

I got some documents today from my cousin, Deloris Jennings, and one of them reveals a transcription error in marriage records.  Kayleene had pointed this out to me before when she helped me find some records on Wards, and said that she thought it was a transcription error, so now we have the document to prove it.  This is what the marriage record says on the web site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyjohnso/JCMar07.htm (this has been corrected to reflect the proof provided.)
 
*November 13    Charley Dollarhide      22      
1907            Mary J. Ward            16

 
The actual document is for Serena T. Ward.   Mary J. Ward was her mother and is listed as mother on the actual document.  My Grandma Trinnie Ward sometimes went by the name Serena just because she liked it.  :-)  One census record below actually says Trenna or Serena on it.
 
This is what Kayleene sent me before through the list:

As you can see this record lists Mary J twice as the bride and the mother.
