[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because people died in their 40s. Short life expectancies. They didn't just look old, they were considered old and knocking on death's door in their mid 30s.[/quote] This has been debunked. The life expectancy overall was so short because of the high infant mortality rate. If a person survived childhood, they had a good chance of living into their 60's. Though women, of course, had to contend with pregnancy as well. [/quote] No, you're wrong. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/articles/mortalityinenglandandwales/2012-12-17#:~:text=In%201841%20life%20expectancy%20at,males%20and%2048%20for%20females. [/quote] Ummm --- PP's comment is directly referenced in the piece. That confirms PP and not you. Did you read it?[/quote]
