Age Difference
In Response To: So ()

]George was 33 when he married and 44 when Jane was born. Could anyone tell us how old Cassandra was? Since the age descrepancy is always discussed in Emma I thought this might be interesting. Thanks and thanks Ann2

George was born in 1731 and Cassandra in 1739, so about 8 years difference in ages.
