What age could a minor possibly be in 1878

kilsmum · 2014-02-06 17:29:59

I'm trying to trace the birth date of my relative who was a minor when he got married in 1878 in Cork. Would a minor have been considered under 18? his bride was just given the title of full age. Many thanks in advance. Kilsmum
