Thanks for your info. For one brief moment I thought we had found someone with a Manx authority, but it seems as elusive as ever. I suspect there was no statute setting out the minimum ages. In the last edition of the IoM FHS journal I quote the case of a male aged between 11 and 12 who 6 years later was petioning for an anullment.

One of my direct ancestors was a co-respondent in the divorce case, also quoted in the lastest journal.
