  • Marriage licence 1772

    Is there anyway to find out how old the bride was when she married if it was by licence in 1772?

    Anne Thompson married John Dawson 18 June 1772, He was born approx 1741

    Thanks

    Sometimes the age is recorded as part of the Licence, but there's no guarantee.

      How would I obtain the licence? Would it be held at the local Records Office?

      Another researcher searched the marriage records and listed what she found there, it stated by Licence

        Some databases have transcriptions of the Licence registers. the trouble is that there were several sorts of Licence - and several places from which to obtain one. I think there was a thread about that within the last few weeks.

        Where did they marry?

            I think it would only give her age if she was a minor.

            The actual licence is very unlikely to be available, but you might be able to get a copy of the licence application.

              Genuki is helpful, but unencouraging:

              But unless you ask, you'll never know. Hope yours survives!

                Thanks Kite and Pheonix,

                Looks like a trip is in order (took 5 weeks to get a document from them last time)
