I know I'm danger of asking a question that has been long ago answered but I currently reading Swallowdale, and when Titty and Captain Flint discuss Peter Duck's cave CF says that he was there over thirty years ago and called in Ben Gunn's. Now by my reckoning he would have been at least 10 and under 15 years old, and to talk about 30 years ago he means at least 30 but under 40. So does that make him around 45 years old?

My image of him from childhood because of AR's drawings is of an older man - fifties, early sixties. Anyone any positive ideas or where can I find the answer?
