🎯 the state file number is the point
State File No. 12 480 — printed in two sub-columns, volume and number. That is the handle for ordering the actual return from the New Jersey State Archives, which would give the exact date, the place, the officiant and the parents of both parties. ⇒ This index is a pointer to a record, not the record.
⚠️ what this index does not give
No month — the MO. sub-column is blank on this line; only the year 1907 is entered. No place — the PLACE OF MARRIAGE column is blank on this line too, so "New Jersey, USA" in Ancestry's rendering is the collection's scope, not a value from the page. ⇒ The place of marriage remains unknown.
