Bunce / Stevens Marriage Certificate 1860

[lynmick]

I have just received a copy of A marriage cert from GRO but am unable to read age at wedding. There appears to a letter followed by what looks like the word "full" the another word starting with the letter "A" - Any help would be much appreciated

Full Age - the person was over 21

You'll also see 'Of full age'

I am fairly new to this so I am not sure if this is the reason, just a guess. In relation to the full, I presume that this is someone over the age of 21, and they didn't have to give their exact age?

I have a certificate like that as well, although I do not have a letter before it.

Cheers

Have looked at Cert again althiugh not very clear it makes sense now thanks again

[Alan Welsford]

Of course it doesn't necessarily mean they were over 21.

Just that they said they were!

Never thought of that?? I'll make other checks.

Thanks Alan for the tip
