Repository notice:
- The court search page states that all historical marriage information is designated with a year of 1900 and that this is not the year of the marriage. The record provides journal/volume and page information for further court lookup.
- Case copies are available through the court's online full-case-copy request workflow, with fees and court processing.

Research note:
- This bride may be connected to the Helen M. Ponceby listed with Donald E. Ponceby on the 23 January 1957 S.S. Santa Rosa passenger manifest, but the docket gives middle initial L while the passenger list gives middle initial M. Treat as a likely but unresolved identity clue until the full marriage record is obtained.
