Distribution of Bride's/Groom's age at marriage, pre-1991

Question

We have the Statistics Canada publication Marriages, 1991 (cat. 84-212). Table 12A and 12B (page 16-17) are both labelled "Distribution of Bride's Age and Median Age at Marriage, Canada, Selected Years, 1921-1991", both on the page and in the table of contents. Given that they have different numbers, both can't be the brides' ages. I'm guessing that table 12B, with the older ages, is the grooms, but a faculty member has asked if I could confirm this. I've been unable to find another source giving the distributions. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer

There was indeed an error in the publication. Table 12 B should be labelled grooms.
