Here's the marriage certificate of Anne THOMSON and Henry deKoven RIDER:

It says Anne would turn 20 on 11 Apr 1888. And Henry would turn 25 on 21 Jun 1888. Sometimes the birth years can be off, however.

Curiously, I recognized the name and signature of one of the witnesses: Edward Kindberg, who was a specialist in prints and engravings and was an employee of the antiquarian bookseller William Evarts Benjamin in the 1890s.
Yes, I have the marriage details of Ann and Henry De Keven Rider and Edward Kindberg who married Ann's sister Isabella Thomson in 1885. She died quite a gruesome death in 1908 and there was a lot of newspaper articles about his will after he died in 1909. That's why i mentioned in my first post that i knew a lot about the rest of the family and was looking for William, Isabella and William Jnr.

This shows what is available on there.  For Manhattan, they have deaths from 1866 to 1867, 1871 to 1875, and 1920 to 1948.  The rest are not digitized.
From what I've heard from others, the other years can be viewed for free at Family Search Centers.
Thanks, I'll bookmark that page instead of going directly to the search page.
