Find Ancestors

Oooh really cant remember. sorry, i do know i was given a form to take home for parental consent and I think one of my parents had to take it back to the Register office so they could see the signature/s werent forged but cant remember if both parents had to sign ,
I wonder whether Google may find anything for it .

Re your query about Mother And Father

I had to ask my wife,if she could remember.She tells me that the forms must have had details of both her parents, because her parents were separated my wife had to get her Nan to get her Dad to sign the form.

Please remember its a long time ago since our marriage so we are not 100% sure of the facts.

Just a quick thank you to you both George and Shirley. Just one more question. Do either of you know if the forms had to list both the Mother and Father of those getting married.

Same as George but mine was 1957 , as it was a Catholic Church marriage the banns had to be put in at the local register office and the consent form for me was handed to them . Dont know though whether these are kept by the Register Office as part of any file for the marriage i guess a phone call to one would give the answer.

Another thought!! Mum and Dad married Xmas Day 1929 and mum had to have consent, the consent form was given to the vicar when they were arranging the marriage

When i got married not as early as 1922 i might add but 1958, my wife was not 21 at the time so she you had to have written consent from her Father,i understand it was an official form which he had to sign which was passed to the vicar of the church, or the register office if not a church wedding.

Sorry but i d not know if these documents survive or even where to look for them if they do

My Grandparent were married before they were 21 in 1922. My understanding is that they had to get consent from their parents to do this. Does anyone know if this would have been just a verbal consent or whether a form and sinature was required. If it is the latter does anyone know if these forms still exist, where they are kept and if they are accessible to the general public.
