MARRIAGE LICENSE COBB COUNTY GA DATED 18 May 1881
URIAH IVINS to SARAH CANTRELL
Notice that the marriage certification part, where their names are written a second time, has him as Uriah IRWIN. PROOF that spelling mistakes at the time we very common. The man's last name isn't spelled correctly even on the same page. A different handwriting changes IVINS ( EVANS ) to IRWIN. This is known by all genealogists. New researchers get all upset over these mistakes, which are common and only show that people were not well educated ( even those who worked in the courthouse .
This is truly hilarious! What a different world it was! TFS!! ~Robin~
