Kenton County has two locations for the recording of marriages, Covington
and Independence. Independence started recording marriages in
1840 and Covington in 1874. Many of the early Independence records
are now housed in Covington (see the table below); others are
in the Kentucky archives in Frankfort, particularly the "loose
papers".
Below you will find the Marriage records on the Kenton site. Those
that have been transcribed have links to the transcriptions. Generally
the transcriptions contain only the names and date. The image
files contain more data such as birthplace etc.
Another source for Kenton, Boone and Campbell marriage records
through 1850 can be found on the following off-site webpage called
Kentucky Genealogy.
While access to the comprehensive marriage databases is fee-based,
lists of principal surnames are available without charge. The
author of Kentucky Genealogy is Stephen
W. Worrel
Note: The image files of the microfilm listed below MAY NOT be
the complete marriage records for the years listed.
1840-1940 Kenton Marriages Index - Independence Court House
submitted by Kerry & Carolyn
To order photocopies of certificates found in THIS (Independence) index: |
If the marriage is in Books 1-8, they
have been archived in Frankfort (up to 1926).
Call:
(502) 564-8300, ext. 350.
Walt Bowman or Jim Pritchard are the contacts. |
If the marriage is in Book 9 or later:
Send a request to:
Kenton County Clerk
Bill Aylor
P.O. Box 38
Independence, Ky, 41051
(859) 392-1680 |
Include Bride and Groom's first
and last names, the book and page number or the date of
the marriage. |
Note: Even though the names on these pages are in alphabetical
order there are some cases where names can be found out of order. It is best to check
ALL images in a letter group as there are instances of the addition of names either on
the last page of a letter group or as a write in after the fact.
These image files are rather large. You will probably need to scroll (left to right) to see the brides index
Format: Groom Index - Book & Page, Bride Index - Book & Page
