I have a marriage entry on an English parish register and the groom is described as "under age".
The bride is "of age".
The date is 1840 and I think the bride would have been 19 years old and the groom perhaps about a year younger.
I would be grateful if anyone knows what the age limits were at that time for a marriage.
Thanks very much.
