	Hi Maddie, Only one problem is that 1602 must be wrong as have understood that 1610 was in fact the year,as the earlier date would have made him only 7 years old! Even at 15 there must have been some uproar! Very many thanks for your help. Regards. Michael.

	It was legal for children to be married or at least betrothed at a very young age. They could cohabit from the age of about 12.

To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

	Google the name ................ there are lots of sites come up. Maybe one of them will have documented proof! As I said, it was not unusual to betroth a child at a young age, and the marriage be consummated at age 12 or 14. BUT what I do think unusual is that the bride is so much older!
