Alan Francis Stammwitz b1906-

[Paul McKeown]

SHELLEY ALBERT STAMMWITZ who was born in Jan-Mar 1880 in Richmond, Surrey. He married FRANCES BLANCHE MACKENZIE in July-Sept 1894 in Brentford, Middlesex; she was born April–June 1882 in Richmond, Surrey. In the 1911 Census, they lived at 241 Upper Richmond Road, Putney, Middlesex. Shelley was an Electro-Therapeutist with a practice at 310 Regent Street, London.

I'm not sure that this data can be entirely correct?

Shelley born 1880, married 1894. Aged 14?
Frances born 1882, married 1894. Aged 12?

I know that the law, its practises and social attitudes in the Victorian period were markedly different from today, but I find it surprising that two adolescents were married. Perhaps I am wrong, but I would feel happier about the data if it could be confirmed.

1894 must be a typo: they married on 17 September 1904 at Christ Church Turnham Green.

Apologies for the typo - the marriage date of 1904 is of course correct.
