This is another of those "how long is a piece of string" questions, but just want general ideas. One of my lot was baptised in 1816, married in 1829 & emigrated to the US (alone) in 1830. His nearest sibling (unless they had different fathers & it was covered up) was baptised in 1818, so we are talking about a child here & not an adult baptism.
Bearing in mind the usual reservations, from what age could you get away with being married or emigrating alone ? (his name is clearly quoted on the shipping lists, so, he wasn't posing as a son...nobody else with that surname... unless he was posing as a nephew/cousin etc)
