Hello All, I have found an entry in a church register for the marriage of my great-great grandparents in Kimberley on 15 December 1890. Under the column "Consent, by whom given" it says Special License. I am assuming this is because, although they both still had living parents at the time, the parents were all residing in Ireland. Would a Special License then have been granted because the parents were unable to attend, or would the parents still have been able to give consent via a letter or something? Or is there some other reason why a Special License would be granted? Regards, Leeanne --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
