Hi Martin
To answer the odther part of your question 'minor-full age'
You attained 'full age' (age of majority) at 21 and could then marry at will.However 'minors' (below that age) but over the age of 16 could be narried with 'parental consent' -the written consent of both parents of the 'minor' If it was not possible to obtain parental consent or parents opposed the marriage it was still possible to marry by obtaining permission from a Court of Law -usually a Magistrates Court.That still applies today but the age of majority (full age) is now 18
Good luck
