Still rather young for the grooms, when it was "normal" for men to not marry until they were somewhat "settled", had good jobs, and could afford a wife and a family.

Would I be wrong is assuming that they were farmers/lived in rural areas?

I ask, because, in the Victorian/Edwardian ears, in large cities, people married at a later age ( though still young, when compared with today's stats ) than those who lived in the country did.
