Research notes for William

About that wedding date...

From Cook County, Illinois Marriage Index, 1930-1960...
Name: Louise Funke
Marriage Date: 29 May 1952
Spouse: William J. Elbert

However...
From The Janesville Daily Gazette - 07 Jun 1952...
"Louise ... and William ... were married Sunday in the home of the bride's father. ..."
That would put the wedding date Sunday, 01 Jun 1952

Finally, the Wedding article (see Docs) says...
"... were married Sunday at the home of the bride's father ..."
It is dated, 12 Jun 1952 -- which puts the wedding date Sunday, 08 Jun 1952.

What does it mean? I don't know. But I THINK the Cook Co. Record is the marriage LICENSE. The Janesville paper is CORRECT. The Lake Geneva paper is reprinting something a week old. Hence, I think the wedding was on 01 Jun 1952. But, I could be wrong...
