Hello, just a quick query really.
I've been looking up marriage records from the 19th century, particularly the 1840s.

I was just wondering if anyone knows what 'Full age'' means as some of the people are listed, not as a number for their age but just ''full age''!

I know that the legal marriage age for boys at this time was14 and girls, 12... Is that what this means?


Many thanks,
Kara
