The ages of both are of full age missed off by transcriber
Freereg
H groom-age 17

Minor
The Groom's age
The age field is usually an integer number representing the age in years.
Normally text is NOT permitted in this field. However, the term "Minor" which means under 21 years is permitted. Also permitted if "of age", "of full age" and 'full age". No special characters are permitted in this field.

I would just like to point out, that if there is nothing entered in the "Groom's Age" & "Bride's Age" column, it doesn't necessarily mean that the transcriber has missed the ages off.
On the FreeREG database, a transcriber can put either "of full age" or "minor" whichever is stated in the Parish Register, but for some reason this does not show up when the FreeREG database goes "live", but, a specific age i.e. 18, 19, 47 etc. is shown on FreeREG.
