Margaret Mylchreest

Margaret Mylchreest, my gggrandmother was allegedly born in 1817 in Ballaugh.
She married Thomas Caine on July 28 1832 in Braddan.
Her age in the 1871 census is 54yrs and in 1881 64yrs, when they lived at Port-e-Chee. In Brian Lawsons burial index a Margaret Caine was buried in Braddan December 16 1888 aged 72yrs.
All this would agree with her birth date of 1817. But it would mean she was only 15yrs when she married and had her first child Thomas on November 18 1817.
The marriage entry does not mention "with parents consent" and I can't find her birth in the Ballaugh PR.
Has anyone any idea as to where I go from here please
