Gordon, The term “full age” indicated 21 years and over; in the thousands of marriages I have transcribed “full age” and “of age” reflect this – if a party to a marriage was under 21, they are referred to as minors or number of years is specifically stated.
All the best, Len Swindley Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Gordon Wilkinson via CoTyroneList Sent: Friday, 29 May 2020 2:00 PM To: Tyrone Mail List Cc: Gordon Wilkinson Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] "Full Age" A simple query. In 1850, did the term 'full age' for marriage mean, 18 or more, or 21+? I've always assumed one to be 18 to be legally wed without parental permission, but maybe 'full age' meant the 'age of majority'?
