In Anne with an E, Marilla is older than Matthew. From John Blythe's tombstone we know that Season 1 takes place in 1896. In the second episode, we can see their birth dates in the Cuthbert family Bible. Marilla was born on December 29, 1836 – making her 59-60 in Season 1. Matthew was born on June 15, 1841 – he is five years younger than Marilla, which means that he was 54-55. Their late brother Michael was born in 1833.

I still haven't seen the last 5 episodes of Season 2 so I cannot tell when Michael died and how old he was. I recall flashbacks in the sixth episode of Season 1, which showed young Marilla and John Blythe just before Michael's death. She seemed to be in her late teens at that time, which means that Michael could've died in his late teens or early twenties. I cannot tell right now.
