WAYNE COUNTY, MS. RESEARCH PAGE
Marriages 1881 - 1889
I did obtain permission from Carolin Pettit to take the info she has transcribed from the Wayne Co. marriage
records and I have retyped them. The surnames are sorted them by date increments. Many contain notes.
I know some have been posted on other sites, but there are quite a number of marriages from the early
1900's which no one else has ever posted to my knowledge. They are selected surnames and not the
entire marriage books, but I think they represent a large number of families from Wayne Co.
