Marriage of Charles Evans and Julia Prior

This is a good one for me because it's the first time I see the names of my great-great-great  grandparents William and Nelly Prior. This really will help me searching on the Prior side of the family.

Marriage record of Albert Grymes

The first one I want to put in is for Albert Grymes. The records dates are a bit funny but somehow there is a connection. It seems his first (wife) was named Mary Butler a name which also turns up among his children in the 1880 census. I never could find him in the King George census before 1870 now we see that he came from Caroline County. It looks like his parents could be Nelson and Rosa, they would be Percy and Sarah's Great Grandparents.

New helpful records found. You're gonna love these.

 Well I have some new exciting material that I found recently. Would you believe marriage records. I found them for a few branches of the family so I'll share what I've found. Something I've found very interesting about these records is that it gives us the names of mothers and fathers of the bride and groom so that in cases where we didn't know the wife maiden name or her mother and father, in many cases these records give us both. Rather than crowd this post I think I'll post the records one at a time.
