Does anyone know the answer to this please.
I have a 1938 Civil marriage where the bride is aged 18 and her age is correctly recorded as that on the certificate.
She therefore needed parental consent to marry.
It would appear that neither of her parents attended the wedding.
My query is how would the Registrar require to be informed that the bride had consent to marry - in writing? Also did both parents have to consent?
Surely just her word that she had such consent would not suffice?
Thanks for reading,
