Re: "Age's at Marriage"
In Response To: Re: "Age's at Marriage" ()

Does anyome know if age had to be proved in 1920? I had thought you had to present a Birth Certificate. My Grandfather married my Grandmother in 1920 giving his age as 24 when he was only 20. I had thought he had done this to avoid getting his parents consent (ie under 21).
