Is there any way of finding out John Green's age when he married Mary Hill in 1791 Holbeach Lincs?

Question

Hit a brick wall with John Green as there are so many born in Lincolnshire around 1775/6.  Is there any way I can find his age when he married Mary Hill 23rd Feb 1791 in Holbeach, Lincolnshire, England or to find our who his parents were?  Many thanks.

Answer 1

As the marriage record to Mary Hill is silent on there ages, you will need to find his appropriate Christening record, the date on which is usually close to his birthdate, and will at least record his father's name. As you say, There are too many John Green's to be certain, although I think you should be focusing on his birth between 1760-1772. In my experience,  the groom tended to be 20-30 years of age at time of marriage.
