Please, does anyone know if it would have been possible for a 14 year old girl to have been married in the 1770's? Thank you for any help you can give. Vanessa |

The age for marriage was 12 for girls and 14 for boys with parental permission. It was quite unusual though to marry at such a young age. This age stayed in place right up until 1927. Kath. x |

Thanks for your answers. If the marriage of my 14 year old girl disappears a lot of my tree disappears too! |
