Franz (Frank) Gatzenmeyer - DOB query

I am wondering if this DOB is not quite right.

I started by trying to disprove a Tree Match to Franz Gatzenmeyer
and ended up grabbing the Marriage record for Franz and Elizabeth White in South Austalia.

This marriage registration did disprove the match in two ways, Father and Marriage Status.

However, it also brought about a query on the DOB for Elizebeth White

If Franz is 22yo in 1913, his DOB seems correct.
If Elizabeth is 26yo in 1913, her DOB seems a bit off. (Currently she would be 32yo)
Add to this that a 10 year age difference is pretty unlikely for a 20-30 year old wedding...

Hope this helps.

I have changed the birth of Elizabeth to Circa 1887

There is a reference to the same family, here:
https://www.myheritage.com/person-1500004_279427851_279427851/eliza...

Where they have the DOB as:
May 14 1885
Now this doesn't quite line up the marriage registration (It would make her 27, I think) , but that slight discrepancy is more believable.

I could not find a conclusive BDM record of that date though.
