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.
Reading notes
Things to be careful about
Transcribed from the Cuyahoga County Probate Court public web docket on 25 April 2026.
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 docket supplies volume/page only; the full marriage record or case copy is needed for actual date, ages, residences, prior-marriage status, parents, and officiant.
This is likely connected to the 1957 passenger manifest's Helen M. Ponceby, but the middle initial differs and the identity remains unresolved.

This is an online court index/docket source, not the image-backed marriage application or certificate.
No marriage event was created because the source does not state a concrete marriage date.
A full Cuyahoga Probate case copy or certified marriage record is needed before updating Donald Edwin Ponceby's canonical spouse list.
