Your help is needed again.
« on: Saturday 07 February 04 10:56 GMT (UK) »
I recieved a Wedding Cert this morning.  All the other certs i have the ages are listed both for the bride and groom but on this one there is only one age ( i think it says 17).  Could it be the age of both of them? If it is, then i,m into confusion mode because i,m 12 years out with the groom  Sad

I think it states "of age".

Some Certs do have the common "full age" on some Certs. I am not 100% what this means either ~ Can any kind soul enlighten us all?

Warm Regards

Full age ( i think) meant they could marry without the consent of parents and i always thought that full age was 21.

 Cheesy Could "Full age" indeed bring you any closer to the expected age of the groom?.

Unless "of age" means something entirely different.  Cheesy

Hi there Fitty

It does indeed say 'of age'

This means they were both aged 21 years or over - younger than that and they would have had to get permission from parent or guardian in order to marry.

Incidentally prior to 1929, it was legal for:
Boys aged 14 and Girls aged 12
to marry with parent / guardian permission
