Re: Lawfull Years
In Response To: Lawfull Years ()

I was told by Manx Museum staff that it was aged 14. At the time I was looking at an admin. [mid-1700s] where 2 children were said to be of lawful years, and 4 were not. From memory, at the time the two eldest were aged 16 and 14, and the next four were 12, 10, 8, and 5.
