The groom was 74 and his bride, his grand niece was
just 21!
|
None of the others in the lists mentioned the bride or
groom's age! Haven't yet found any where
the bride is older than the groom, though.

Hyde Parker ... in his youth!
|
Admiral Sir Hyde Parker was born in 1738, so if the age
difference was 43 years, then Frances Onslow was only 19 at the time of her
marriage while her groom was 62. They went on to have three
children, only one of whom survived, a son - General Richard Parker who was
born in 1804. Hyde Parker died in 1807,
Frances died in 1844.

Groom - aged 80 and the bride, a mere 13!
|
The writer has even added a cheeky wee poem in this
one! Doesn't say much for the blushing
bride!
Love, Liz

I wonder how long Fanny managed to stay 'lovely and amiable' looking after her grandfather!
A gallant 80 year old. Isn't that just what all teenaged girls are looking for?
These are fascinating!
