Gosh, what an interesting family history she has.

I have someone who married in India aged 12 in the late 1790s. She was from an aristocratic family. She had two children by the time she was 15. Her husband was 30 years older than she was.....urggghhh.

Never mind what happened in India. When my gt gt grandparents (both the offspring of ag labs) married in 1830 in Kent, the bride was 15.

LOL! I do have a 13 yr old and a 14 year old marrying in 1760-something, both the children of farmers. That's a bit different from a 30 year age gap!
