Searched for: HIS MARRIAGE TO EVA MAY SNOOK, which the John Cooper sweep's worklist carried as "marriage record (to p.2140) - no date; no search recorded for this gap". Collection 61253, "New Jersey, U.S., Marriage Index, 1901-2016" - chosen over 61376 because [[feedback_ancestry_place_recipe_when_names_are_garbled]] records that 61376, despite its 1670-1965 title, is overwhelmingly 19th-century, while 61253 is the State Archives' own typescript bride and groom indexes and is the one to use for a 20th-century New Jersey marriage. Four searches, every row of every one read: (a) _Snook, surname only - 806 rows, NOT read beyond the first 50; abandoned as too broad; (b) Eva*_Snook - 3 rows, all read; (c) Albert*_Cooper - 34 rows, all read (the groom-side cross-check); (d) Verna*_Cooper and Ray*_Mark - 6 and 12 rows, all read, as a CONTROL on (c).

Result: (b) ONE CANDIDATE, AND IT IS [C.175]. Eva Snook, Oct 1927, spouse A C. Opened, image downloaded and filed under RULE ZERO-C, and the row read at magnification with its neighbours: Eva | AC | 52 | 10 14 27 | 8 | 42 - 14 October 1927, place code 52, volume 8, page 42. The other two rows are one 1918 marriage of an Eva M Snook to Gussie G Lowe/Love, indexed twice - too early (he was 15) and the groom is named. (c) NO ALBERT COOPER MARRIED IN 1927 - and not one of the 34 rows falls between 1915 and 1930, a fifteen-year hole in a name that appears on both sides of it. The set does contain *"Albert Cooper, 1901, Sadie McDavitt"*, which is his own parents' marriage (Albert Alvin Cooper x Sadie Ann (McDavitt) Cooper, 15 Aug 1901) and is the control proving the search reaches this family. (d) THE HOLE IS COVERAGE, NOT ABSENCE, AND THIS IS WHAT PROVES IT. Verna M. (Cooper) Mark Verna Cooper married Ray E. Mark in December 1928 - a 1920s marriage the catalog already held. She is in the index, on the bride side = [C.174], with the exact day and volume and page. Ray E. Mark is NOT: all 12 Ray* Mark rows read, earliest 1933. => Two independent 1920s marriages, both present on the BRIDE side and both absent on the GROOM side. Ancestry's 61253 does not index the groom volumes for 1920-1929. So the absence of Albert Cooper in (c) says nothing whatever about him, and is NOT recorded as a null. THE CANDIDATE THEREFORE CANNOT BE CONFIRMED OR REFUTED FROM INSIDE THE INDEX**, which is exactly what todo t1 is for.
