Well new to me. As used in the 1648 will I'm transcribing e.g.

"or thair severall mantenance until the sd tyme of thair marriage or perfyte age"

and elsewhere it seems to specify that latter age as "xxi yeirs complett" i.e. 21.

This is all reminding me of the Madame de Pompadour Doctor Who episode - "She is not complete!"

Here is the relevant Scots dictionary definition.
