They were 46 men, and three of unknown age other than those, I avoided a fourth by counting him (Filipe de Mascarenhas) as 71+.

Minimum is c. 30, maximum is 86, median is 60/61.
Lower quartile is 51, higher quartile is 65.

The number of "c." as for circus is high and outweighs the somewhat fewer number of +.
