>>I can't find the marriage record of my ancestors below.

>>I have checked:
>>* NJ State marriage records (1600-1880)
>>* Marriage Records - Hunterdon County, NJ 1795 - 1875
>>* Buck's county PA Marriage records (Incase they got married in PA)
>>* Northampton Cty, PA Marriage Records (Incase they got married in PA)
>>
