';Full Age'; and Minor

It would be useful if I could input 'Full Age' or Minor' against the husband and wife in a marriage entry when entering details from a Marriage Certificate where the actual ages are not given.

When I tried to do it using Add Husband's Age etc FH would not accept my entry - unless there is another way to do it.

I don't see anything on the wish list about this.

I don't think the standard will allow anything other than an numeric and specials like year month and days. I tend to put the information in a note against the marriage where I have certs like this.

Thanks, Jane. I'll do that for now.

You could always use 'younger than' or 'older than' if you're confident about what age that particular registrar called 'full age' at that particular time, but like Jane I'd add a note or possibly a 'text from source' reference.
