I have an ancestor, who according to census records was born in 1822, his wife 1820. Yet i have found a marriage cert dated 1834. Is this possible? Surely they cannot have married this young?! |

Census ages are notoriously unreliable, the older they get the slower they age. Where is the certificate from, as civil registration didn't start until 1837? Check on 1841 census if possible. |

Hi Boys could be married at 12 and girls at 13 up 'til 1929. I think thats right, but i'm sure someone will tell you if it's not. Christine |

Pallots MI dated 1834, but I believe the census is wrong, am still searching and have found 1861 census with birthdates 10 yrs earlier, so this sounds far more likely! Thanks all for the continued help! Sarah |
