Full age means over 21, could be any age over that ,Or, sometimes they lied as didnt have dads permission to marry.! Your best bet would be to find her death cert & this will narrow down her year of birth, If this comes before aug 1837 then you are looking at having to search parish records. have you found her on any census under her married name? Then its parish records. Have you looked on family search site as this often has baptism dates. Shirley
