Hi All
My wife was 18 when we married in 1966. It required
authorisation/approval by her father but was not a 'Special License' as
such.

I always assumed meant bride/groom were underage. :/ I believe its still the
case these days that you have to get govt permission to marry if under 18

Subject: [dps-chat] What is a marriage BY SPECIAL LICENSE ???
G'day CATHY & MARG, our resident specialists for matters ecclesiastical ...
Troving through the Bendigo Advertiser between 1860 and 1890 I've come across
some wonderful treasures pertaining to matters HELLIER, but would like some
explanation for the following:
---->
Bendigo Advertiser (Vic. : 1855 - 1918), Monday 6 November 1865, page 2
MARRIAGE.
On the 4th inst., by special license, at the Church of England, by the Rev Mr
Croxton, Mr Thomas Hellier, of Bristol, to Ellen, only daughter of Mr John
O'Connor, of London.
<----
I wonder if either of you gals (or others among the general ALL) could expand
on the meaning of a special license ... was it a mixed religious wedding OR was
it a spin-off denomination that needed the official stamp from the CofE, or
something quite different?
Cheers and thanks in anticipation, ROB!
