I thought the Q about the average age of marriage was a bit misleading. The answer was:
(The average age) was just over 24 for women at this time. The average age at marriage was in fact lower in the mid-twentieth century than it was in the mid-nineteenth.
Do they really mean average?? Or do they mean the most likely age to marry for the first time?
