Hannah Evans b1813 no baptism record?

[mikehardy]

Hi,  I have revisited Hannah Evans and the marriage to Thomas Barlow - 1828 her age 15 Thomas age 35.

  The 1851 census, - 2026,137,11 pob Erbistock birth c1813
  The 1881 census, - 2852,45,17   pob Wrexham birth c1813

Something odd here- pob is different,  Hannah marriage age 15 Thomas marriage age 35 a difference of 20 years!! and I cannot trace a baptism record for Hannah.

Have I got the right Hannah Evans?

There is a baptism for her in Erbistock on 3 Jan 1813 Parents were John and Mary.

I'm sure we've explored this before.

Hi, Gadget and William,  Yes I have seen her on 1861 census but I am questioning her age at marriage and the age difference.  Do you think marriage at 15 was acceptable? and legal.

It all looks OK, Mike. There was no need to have proof of age at marriage then. Also, the marriage took place in Chester which would mean that the cleric wouldn't know the ages.

Her age is fairly consistent through the censuses.
