'''Gretna Green marriage places.''' When a marriage was transacted in a jurisdiction that was not the residence of the parties being married, to avoid restrictions or procedures imposed by the parties' home jurisdiction, that place became a "Gretna Green." When an '''eloping''' Quebec couple's marriage is not in their home county, search for it in alternate places like:<ref name="Eakle1">Arlene H.
