This collection of records at FamilySearch consists of marriage records from Bullock County Alabama. These marriage records in whole cover the years of 1868-1954, though not all years are available. Notably, the years of 1875-1881 are missing from the Colored records. To help users better understand and access these records, I have created this page.
These are called “county marriages” as they were recorded by the county, not the state, and they can be found within the county’s records. As can be found across the South, these records were not always recorded for blacks and when recorded were often done so in a different book.
You will need to be registered with FamilySearch to access these free records. Some of the records are searchable, but not all. It’s important that if you do not get results from the search, but you think your ancestor was married in a Bullock County, that you then use the links below to access digital images of the marriage volumes directly.
Marriage Records
These records are held at the Bullock County Courthouse in Union Springs, Alabama. Each volume is individually indexed. The marriage licenses are arranged chronologically (in most cases), and may provide ages, height and weight, nativity, occupation, religion, residence and number of marriages. There is no volume 5.
