We bring you a valuable research tool for Winston County: an index to marriage records. This book contains an index of the first fifteen marriage books located at the probate office, containing not only a groom index, but in the second part of the book is a complete bride index as well. On August 5, 1891, a fire destroyed all the county books housed in the original courthouse. Over the years, the society has attempted to obtain a list of as many marriages as possible previous to 1891, providing more than one hundred of these marriages, included in volume two along with an appendix of notes and sources. Volume Two covers all marriages from August 1891 through early 1955. The index consists of the page number, the groom’s name, the bride’s name, and their actual date of marriage.
