What a find on a free to view site
I have been researching for 30 plus years and recently havent done much however I was idly searching through the Family Search site and came across an affidavit completed by my 4x gt grandmother in Devon allowing her daughter to marry my Royal Navy officer 3x gt grandfather she was 16 and he was over 21. I was and still am so excited about this find considering when their son who also became an officer in the Royal Navy wanted to marry someone age15 when he was 35 it was opposed on the grounds her family said she was too young and his family said her father was not of an equivalent rank ie he was a Ships Carpenter Warrent Officer. They persisted and were determind to get married and did get their way I wonder if they had to swear an affidavit for her this would have been 35 years later. :clap:
