Second Consent?.....

Post by rye470 » Sun Mar 26, 2006 2:15 am

Can anyone tell me what 'Second Consent' on a marraige certificate means?

On my GG Grandparents marraige certificate, second consent is noted under the brides status (spinster).

Anyone any ideas?

Could it be second cousin?

Before 1860 relationships were given.

Hi David and Annette,

Many thanks for your replies.


David,

I would love to add it to the gallery , but how? I'm afraid I'm not very technically minded :oops:.

Annette,

It's funny you should mention the possibility that they were cousins. I found the cert on SP a few years ago and I read the entry as 'second cousins'. I was quite happy with this until recently, when I made contact with a descendant of the brides family. He had just been to Edinburgh, seen the original entry, and is convinced it says 'Second Consent'. I have had the magnifying glass on it numerous times, and to be perfectly honest, I'm just not sure.

If you can tell me, step by step, how to put it on the Gallery, I will.


Many Thanks,


Christine.

Many Thanks Annette,

I'll give it a try but don't hold your breath. It might take a few attempts.
