In the book, Jane Austen describes Mr. Kingston as seven or eight and thirty. She describes Mr. Elston as six or seven and thirty. What does this mean?

I've never read Emma, but I feel pretty safe assuming she's talking about their ages; seven or eight and thirty = 37 or 38 years-old, six and thirty = 36
