Well, Matthew was 60 when Anne arrived at Green Gables. The first chapters take place in 1876, so he must have been born around 1816. I don't think we know Marilla's exact age. I believe it is mentioned somewhere in the book. We know for sure that she was in her 50s, having dark hair with some grey streaks. On this page, it is mentioned that she was born in 1824, but I cannot confirm that this year is correct and we must look it up in the novel.
