They wanted to see how many couples they could get back to Piggott for a reception of the Post War years marriages performed here.  They decided to transcribe the 1950 marriages which covered the largest count of 5574 licenses sold during the year.  This transcription includes the entire year of 1950:  Book 49-Page 293 through Book 58-Page 44.
