Emily is 20 on that marriage record I posted and I think it says under her age 'with consent'

Maybe she didnt have 'consent'? Can someone else take a look at it please

It has never been a legal requirement to name your father when getting married.

It is/was quite common not to give your father's details if you either did not know them or simply chose not to do so because of family relationship breakdown.

This looks like the Harriet in the 1861 above, but no sign of Emily. I suspect the birth below is her. Problem is, there are quite a few Emily Wrights - and yours doesn't appear to have a middle name!
