Question:

What do full-age, fa, ofa, bofa, minor, mi, do, DO mean in UK Public Records?











Answers

Full-age = fa = ofa (of full age) = 21 or over.
You did not need your parents approval to marry when of 'full age'.
Bofa = both of full age = both parties 21 or over.
Minor = mi = under 21.
If minor, until very recently when it was reduced to 18, parties needed parental consent to marry. Except in Scotland, where anyone 16 or over could/can get married without parental permission.
DO/do = ditto.
