I remember I was surprised about that when doing my family tree. I didn’t get to middle ages but even in 1700 - 1800, the common age of my ancestors when they got married was 22 - 23 for women and 25 - 26 for men. I expected much younger ages, like 18 - 19.
Note that all my ancestors were farmers or workers from rural Slavic part of the world so don’t imagine it like 1800 London or something

















Wait so Richard isn’t his direct ancestor? Just that Richard’s great-great grandparents are the same as Cumberbatch’ great-…-great grandparents. Do I understand it right?
