My great grandparents got in spite of family disapproval. My 2nd cousin has it that they ran away to do this (but not far as they were living a few doors down from where George was born.) I am confused at this I thought you had to be 21 to get married without parental consent my great granddad George Glen is a month of his 19th birthday - he was born 19 July 1885 they married June 19 1904, Clara is 22. They're married after banns.
Would someone else have given George permission? And if so would there be a record of this.
Oh George Thomas and Sarah Ann Quartly witnessed at the wedding (I don't know if this is relevant but Sarah Ann Pitt was Clara's grandmother.)
