WPA Index to Marriages in Hendricks County, Indiana (1850-1920)
transcribed in 2001 by Meredith Thompson

This is a transcription of the marriage index for Hendricks County, Indiana that the Works Progress Administration (WPA) did in the 1930's. Names and dates were copied exactly as they appeared in the WPA's index. Marriages were alphabetized under both the bride and groom's names. The marriage books referred to in this index can be found in the clerk's office of the Hendricks County courthouse.
