William and Sarah - Someone thinks we're married ...

William Bean and Sarah Wallage are my fourth great grandparents on the Bean side of the family.  I found information that their marriage record was extracted way back when by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  However, I don't have copies of the original.  I have found that looking at the original Marriage records and searching through the entire film can produce a wealth of additional information.  This is the printout of the extraction:

This is the information you will use to locate him on the film. Now, this one is confusing, because there appears to be no film for 1832 ....  However, after a little research, I think 0254576 is the way to go.  I literally have no primary documents on these two, so this record would be awesome.

Oh, and if you're interested, this is the sweet church they got married in.


Project:

1) Order the film number 0254576 from the family history library (use this link) (the films cost $7.50 to rent on a short term basis)
2) Find a Family History Center with a film reader
3) Search the film for the name "Bean" or "Wallage"
4) If your Center has the capability (and let's pray they do), capture each image that could potentially be related to the Bean and Wallage families; otherwise just write down all the information
5) Rejoice in your discovery!
