Can anyone tell me about age requirements for marriage in 1802? William Mitchell married Martha Chant in St Mary Islington. Martha was born 4 June 1785, so she was about 17 at the time of the marriage. There's no note indicating parental consent - would it have been required? What about licence (they married by banns)?
Also, if anyone could find out more about the first witness, William Morgan, that might be so helpful! Sister Sarah is the second witness.
