Re: confirmations
In Response To: confirmations ()

minimum age was 14, confirmee were typically around 15 or 16 for those I've checked - you were supposed to be confirmed before marriage sometimes you see a comment to this effect - confirmations are usually included in all parish regs, a few give the names of parents or farms, others indicate if they attended an english or a manx language class
