Keyword Search looks for the "term" (one word or number works best) you type throughout the whole record. It is less accurate than the advanced search but it does let you search for age, religion, mother's maiden name, etc. if transcribed.

Note: The second witness is the widowed mother of the bride who remarried Robert Crawford in 1935.
