What was the age requirement for curates? Written by Graciela (10/15/2008 1:10 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, I see. Sophy is the only sister, then., penned by JanELT

The minimum age for being priest was 24. I don't know if this also applied to curates. Edward Wentworth came to Monkford in 1805. (Mr. Shepherd said that in ch. 3). Frederick was 22 then. If Edward was younger he would have been at most 21, too young to be ordained.
