Hi If someone is 20, 6 months after their marriage, is it unusual for age on marriage cert to be already 20? I have a marriage for Dec 1905, bride Ellen Gilroy is 20 on cert. I can't find birth reg but from census records her age puts her as born 1886ish- I have found one that fits Jun q 1886, but name is Nelly, which I believe is often changed to Ellen. Thanks Simone x |

from my experience they all told lies, the one you have found is probably right, as the registrar only wrote what he was told. |

I remember reading that it was not unusual for people to quote their age as 'age next birthday' not 'age last birthday' as we now do. |

I am not very good with areas which would Liverpool come under as there are a couple of Nellie and Nelly Gilroys |

Val, the one I have found is Nelly Nora Gilroy, West Derby district, Jun q 1886. Other Liverpool districts could be Toxteth Park, or Liverpool. |

Thanks Val. That would make her 22 at marriage wouldn't it.Not really sure. I suppose I could send for cert with a ref check couldn't I? Thanks for looking though. Simone x |
