    1. [G] Illegal marriage ?
    2. ann wadge via
    3. On 4 March 1850 a marriage took place between Mary Louisa Virtue Wadge & William Ginger at St Martin in the Fields, both parties said to be of full age although I know that the bride was only 18. The 1851 census shows her in her parents' household, unmarried & in 1853 she married James George Waight. Would this first marriage have been illegal because of her age, if she had no parental consent & could the parents have had it anulled ?  Would there have been any record of this ? Thanks for any help or guidance Ann
