That just narrows it to "over 21!"

What dates are you talking? Can you find them on a census?

Hi Lizdb
Thats what i thought just needed confirmation of the 21, wasnt sure if 21 or 18.
Its actually my GT Gt Grandparents in 1851.
Will start trying to find on census records to narrow down a bit.

thanks Colin Wink

'of full age' (21 and over back then) also frequently quoted by those actually underage and not wanting to obtain permission.

Hopefully census will help  Smiley
