I have a Marriage Certificate showing that my cousin was 22 when he got married in July 1931. It may sound a bit strange but I consider that this is “Primary Evidence” that he was born in “approximately 1909”. Is this correct? Dennis Hawkins

I've always treated certificates as having both primary and secondary evidence depending on what you're looking at. On your marriage certificate, I would seethe marriage date as primary, but calculating a birth date as secondary. I suppose others might see this differently.
