Notes

Beginning in 1894, marriage licenses of the city of Chicago are separated from other licenses of Cook County. Within each sequence of 100 numbers, the Cook County licenses come first, followed by licenses from Chicago. Licenses arranged numerically and chronologically. Some licenses in correct chronological order are misnumbered. Spade marks on licenses indicate numbering problem. Most years have out of order licenses indicated as (misc.).

Prior to 1904 licenses were held by the Clerk of the County Court.

A few licenses are for time prior to fire in 24 July 1871.

Includes male and female indexes. (Female indexes did not begin until 1878.).
