Etta, Sorry, I should have said I was interested in the legal age in Wisconsin, but, if anyone knows, I'd also like to know about Illinois... A "cousin" wants to find out the date and location of her parents' marriage. Her mom, age 21, lived in Minnesota, and her father, age 18 - 19, was from Illinois. As the story goes, they eloped. When they reached Illinois they told his family they were married in Minnesota, but upon returning to Minnesota six months later, they told her family they were married in Illinois. I was beginning to think they never married, but have since found some evidence that eliminates that theory, so I'm trying to come up with solid proof for my "cousin." Sharon
