*Archive in 24 hrs TBC* Marrying 1st cousins.....

Post by MarkCDodd »

Surely this is illegal?

I have a relation marrying his uncle's daughter....his first cousin..in 1904!!

Surely this is illegal?

They had two children... I wonder if they played the banjo?

It was King Henry VIII that changed the law to allow him to marry a cousin!
This shows what is not allowed etc,

Okay..so according to the calculations they would have a coefficient of relationship of 1/2 and therefore the marriage should be illegal, but isn't.

Kinda strange to me.....
