I've just found a marriage on Free Reg between Eliza Gillard and Thomas Weech who were both born about 1810, the marriage didn't take place until 1837 when they were both about 27/28, yet in the notes it states 'Consent of Parents' their only child was born at the end of 1838 so it wasn't a shotgun wedding unless there was an earlier birth, so why the Parental Consent when they were both so much over age? Anyone any ideas?
