The marriage certificate stated that the girl was aged sixteen and the man thirty-one, but when the latter was questioned he declared:
"I knew that the girl I married was not fifteen until next Novem- ber."
The inspector added that the vicar of the Wolverhampton parish where the wedding took place did all he could to discourage the marriage. He was told that the girl was six- teen.
Because of the circumstances the vicar persunded the couple to make special adavits,
The parents told the court that their daughter and the widower "thought a lot of each other,"
