Age of a witness?

[geoff_43]

Hi,

Would any one know if there was a minimum age requirement for a marriage witness in 1827 England?

After years of searching I've found a possible marriage for my people but it would mean the groom's 19 year old brother was a witness.

Thanks

Add -appropriate quote:

There are no laws concerning the age of marriage witnesses - they need to be old enough to function properly as a witness that is all.

Thanks Gadget

I'd not found that link.
