I have been trying to find out the date of birth for a Alexander FOSTER born County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. He married Isabella KEYS 08 Dec 1857 Fintona (Donacavey) County Tyrone.
Quite a few have Alexander on their Ancestry trees with lots of guessing about his DoB. Some say 1840, 1839 or 1836.
What was the legal date to marry in them times?
I think his father was Joseph FOSTER.
Many thanks for any help.

Marriage Age
Until 1972 when a law was passed that both men and women could not wed until the age of 16, Irish females could legally be wed at age 12 and males at age 14. While most women married around the age of 20, pre-famine brides were often younger.
