He was against having children known only after the first marriage took place. He was Protestant. He was under age at time of first marriage. He was AC/DC (excuse me) Can't think of any other reason for a dispensation. Happy Easter to you & yours, Liz Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
