• Notes

  Married: The anomaly that a girl could marry at 12 but not consent to sexual intercourse outside marriage until 16 remained in place from 1885 until the Marriage Act of 1929. Technically, therefore, although Catherine was old enough to marry, William Woodrow GRAHAM had committed an offence in getting Catherine PRINGLE pregnant with their daughter Catherine - unless her birth was significantly premature. This probably accounts for Catherine claiming to be 18 when they married, and for the marriage taking place in Tynemouth rather than in Catherine's home parish. [Stephen Gadd, 2 Jan 2007]
