Andrew C. Hagness og Gladys E. Sabo - vigde i Thief River Falls, MN desember 1939, men kvar er denne vigsli??

[Lars E. Øyane]

Eg har for mange år sidan motteke følgjande opplysningar frå Amerika:

 

Andrew Christopher Hagness, fødd i Grand Forks Co., ND 6.5.1917

Gladys Evelyn Sabo, fødd i Pennington Co., MN 16.3.1916

gifte seg i Thief River Falls, Pennington Co., MN i desember 1939.

 

Vigselsregisteret for MN, som mellom anna omfattar Pennington Co., MN, har INGEN vigsle i heile staten for dette parfolket.  Rett nok manglar me ein del Counties, men slekt påstår at vigsli fann stad i Thief River Falls, MN!

 

MEN eg finn denne vigsli:

 

Andrew C(hristopher) Hagness of Fordville, ND, 21 år gamal, og Vivian Vera Jennings of Thief River Falls, MN, 19 år gamal, gifte seg i Grand Forks, ND 8.9.1938:

Andrew og Gladys Hagness fekk to døtrer i lag:

 

* Geraldine Ann Hagness, fødd i Pennington Co., MN 20.3.1940: https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=8742&h=9851301&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=Nzx10081&_phstart=successSource

 

* Beverly Jane Hagness, fødd i Pennington Co., MN 11.11.1942: https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=8742&h=9849110&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=Nzx10082&_phstart=successSource

 

Andrew og Gladys vart skilde kort etter, og Andrew flytte til Oakland, CA der han gifte seg på ny i 1951, men det er ei anna soge...

Når det gjeld Vivian Vera Jennings, bruri frå Grand Forks, ND 1938, so finn me ho att i FT1940 som gift med Willard Lavoie og busett hjå mor si i Thief River Falls, MN: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L9MT-W726

 

Og denne vigsli finn me i det offisiellle vigselsregisteret for Minnesota:

 

PENNINGTON

5-157

01/20/1940

LAVOIE, WILLARD R

JENNINGS, VIVIAN

 

Utfordringi er soleis å finna vigsli til Andrew Christopher Hagness og Gladys Evelyn Sabo, men kvar skal me leita??  Kanskje finst det noko i avisene for Thief River Falls, MN - både om vigsli og om skilsmålet?

 

Eg takkar so mykje på førehand for alle gode tips!

They got married 9 December 1939 in Grand Forks, ND, not in Minnesota. See https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=61305&h=900081343&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=hhX9&_phstart=successSource

Thank you very much, Carl-Henry, for this discovery!  I am surprised it didn't show up when I researched the marriage records on ancestry.com earlier tonite, but there it is!

 

By the way, I have a «hunch», this is in fact the date of the marriage license, not the actual marriage date?  And If I read it correctly, the license was returned to the office to be filed on Dec. 11?

 

Maybe a minor note can be found in the Grand Forks, ND or Thief River Falls, MN newspaper giving us an exact marriage date?

 

Thanks again for your great assistance in this matter!

[Carl-Henry Geschwind]

Hei Lars:

 

Yes, you are right, 9 December is the date of the marriage license. 11 December is the date on which both the license and the marriage certificate were registered - which means that the marriage was performed sometime from 9 to 11 December.

 

Unfortunately it appears that newspapers.com does not contain newspapers for either Grand Forks or Thief River Falls after 1922. Perhaps someone else has more local access to newspapers from here for 1939.

I contacted the University of North Dakota where a friend of mine works, and he wrote me this:

 

«Since we have marriage records for Grand Forks County in our holdings, I pulled this record to review it. Both Andrew and Gladys were from Angus, Minnesota, and were married 9 December 1939 by the Justice of the Peace here in Grand Forks.»

 

So then this is taken care of!

 

Thanks again for helping out with this question!
