How old are Charles and Caroline at the wedding of Laura and Almanzo in Little House on the Prairie ?

If we follow the chronology of events in reality, the series being inspired by the autobiographical novels of the real Laura Ingalls Wilderwe deduce that season 7 starts in 1885. And, for good reason, we witness the wedding of Laura and Almanzo in episode 2 of this season, a union that took place on August 25, 1885 in real life.

Knowing that Charles was born on January 10, 1836, this means he is 49 years old at the start of season 7 of Little House on the Prairie. For her part, Caroline was born on December 12, 1839, which makes him 45 years old at the time of Laura and Almanzo’s marriage and 46 years old at the end of 1885.

What about their respective interpreters Michael Landon and Karen Grassle ? The interpreter of Charles Ingalls was 44 years old at the time of the original broadcast of season 7 of Little House on the Prairiewhile that of Caroline Ingalls was 38 years old at that time. An age gap a little larger than that between their characters, but smaller than that between Melissa Gilbert and Dean Butler aka Laura and Almanzo.
