Example
In the United States, Marriages from Newspapers on OldNews.com collection, we found a record for Charles S. (Charlie) Chaplin and Mildred L. Harris.
The record shows that they were married on October 23, 1918, at the home of R. B. (“Cupid”) Sparks, 2646 South Normandie Avenue, Los Angeles, California. Mildred Harris was 17 years old and listed as a movie actress, while Chaplin was a film star.
The announcement appeared in The Sun newspaper on November 10, 1918, reporting that Chaplin had secretly married the young actress.
This is an interesting example because it shows how newspaper collections can capture personal stories about well-known people, often with more detail than official records.
