From Ancestry.com, " This collection includes Cuyahoga County, Ohio marriage records for the years 1810-1973. Record types include: marriage license returns, marriage license applications, marriage banns, and indexes to marriage records.
In 1856–57 Ohio enacted a statute that required birth, death, and marriage registration, a law that was generally disregarded. A second law passed in 1867 attempted to maintain the record keeping process, but it wasn’t until the third law, passed in 1908, that it became regulated.
Cuyahoga County itself was organized on June 7, 1807 as the county seat of Ohio only 5 years after Ohio was granted statehood. It is located in northeastern Ohio on the southern shore of Lake Erie. The city of Cleveland, founded in 1796 near the mouth of the Cuyahoga River, is the county seat of Cuyahoga County. This municipality’s economy centered around manufacturing due to its proximity to the Erie Canal during this time period."
