1852-1890
No birth records were created for Weber County, Utah by either by county or state civil authorities in this time period.
Follow these suggestions to find birth information for this time period:
1890-present
Starting in 1890, the Ogden City Recorder kept a register of births occurring within Ogden.
County clerks became responsible for recording births beginning in 1898.[10] In 1905, the State Department of Health assumed responsibility and required the counties to forward copies of the records to them.
Tip
 It took a few years after the requirements for people, doctors, midwives, and officials to comply, so some early birth registrations were missed.

Note: Historical marriage records for this county are difficult to locate and use. It appears that the original marriage registers beginning in 1887, were microfilmed in the 1950's and then destroyed. Unfortunately, the staff at the clerk's office are unable to locate the microfilm copies either (as of 2007). Researchers must resort to the applications and/or the original marriage license returns (microfilmed) to locate specific marriages. The microfilm is some what confusing to use and is mislabeled.

  • 1888–1947— Weber County. (Utah). County Clerk. Applications for Licenses to Marry, and Original Marriage Certificates, 1888–1947FHL Films 1670859–1670885. The applications are arranged by certificate numbers, then chronologically. For example, application number 1s from 1888, 1892, 1897, 1919, and 1935 would be filed together. The years on the films overlap and are mixed. No index is available to certificate numbers. The marriages index cards have been placed in the Early Church Information File. However, the cards give book and page numbers. You may have to search numerous films or order the certificate from the county.
  • 1887–1943 — A considerable number of marriages are listed on the Western States Marriage Index (1887-1943)[12] although it is incomplete. The Ogden Family History Center has a continuing project to document and reconstruct Weber County marriages and will often be the only source of marriage data/documentation.
