Marriage certificate

[iainsanders2]

Just received my gr. grandfathers marriage cert. but, under the column age it has what looks like full age instead of their proper age. Is there a reason for this.

Hi Iain,

Full age means 21 and over some registrars did this. See link explains what is on the marriage certificate.

Thanks Julie, the first thing i thought of was they both couldn't remember their age.
