Thanks David:)

What do the ages of the couple look like to you? Are they 35 & 26?

Where do you get the 1812 from, as it would be 1820 if he was 35 in 1855.

Sorry, missed her age, see above.

See www.familysearch.org , and do a parents search for children in IGI.

The 1812 Andrew could have died in infancy and another been born later, and not registered, but I suspect that we have the case here of a 43 year old making himself that bit closer in age to his much younger bride :!: :shock:

Hi David:)

I must be going daft. I don't see Francis Smart having been born in 1812 :oops:

You're quite correct :!: :oops: :oops:

I was confusing Andrew and the apparantly unregistered in the OPR Francis.

Mea Culpa :!:

So maybe he, Francis, wasn't massaging his age :!:
