What was the average age of marriage in the 1700's?
Census answers place the average age of marriage at 26-27 years old, depending on which half of the 1700's they are referring to. Calculations due to life expectancy place the average age of marriage at 12-15 (Women) and 15-17 (men). Historical data shows marriages as early as the age of 10, although that may have been an uncommon event. Richer people set up arranged marriages, which could take place anytime after they could talk, because the two were already promised to each other. The important thing to remember is life expectancy. People were considered lucky if they lived to their mid 40's, so people married, had children, and died young.
