The above marriages are taken from the Book "Taos County Marriage Book A, 1862-1905." The book is at the New Mexico State Records Center and Archives and may be consulted there; Or you may request a copy of the marriage entry. Keep in mind that the entries are not the Marriage License but rather entries that the County Clerk and/or Deputy made from information provided by the Priests, Ministers, Justice of the Peace and once in a great while one of the persons getting married. I don't think the Archives will charge a great deal for the Copies. Perhaps to copy it and the postage. You may contact them at the following:
