If someone is in the court house, could you look up and see if there is a
license for J.Q. ROCKWELL and Mary KROPF about 22 Jan 1909 (marriage date at
Wellington, KS) However, they resided in Butler Co., Chelsea area and
Wellington, KS does not have a license for them, even though they were married
there. So they must have obtained the license in another county. Since they
lived in Butler Co., that would be my second guess. Thank you if you can.
