Hi Maria,I have seen this many, many times where the groom is way younger than the bride.There can be many reasons for it. Just take any guess.One could be he was more poor than the bride. Maybe she had some family wealth and he thought that's a pretty good deal, even if she's way older.Doug da
I am back to work on my Azorean lines filling in some gaps. I found this
record--a new child for my ancestors, but I can't read the child's name. I
believe it starts with a P and the fourth letter is a q, so maybe it's

Hi Doug,
I have one marriage that sticks out where the groom is 18 and the bride is 48.
I know I have others where the groom is younger than the bride the typical
