Morwen of Lossarnach is what you are thinking of, Forlong was the lord of Lossarnach during the Siege of Minas Tirith.

As for the age difference. I thought the men of Rohan could live up to around 100 years old, I mean you have Aldor the old who reigned for 75 years live close to 100, Eomer was next reigned 65 years and lived into the 90s. Then if you look at some other kings their age ranges from around 90-100, not including the ones who died by getting slain in battle...etc. So maybe 80 is a little too young I would raise it to atleast 90, but that's my personal opinion.

Where as the people of Gondor, I would think 150-200 is too much. They were able to live into the 120's and the people of Dol Amroth maybe a few years more, since they have elven and Numenorean blood. If you look at Faramir he lived to be 120 and having Numenorean blood they would live longer then the Rohirrim. In the Early years of Gondor the men could live to be 200 but not in the recent years or even in Morwen's years. 110-120 is the age for most people of Gondor.

Maybe it did make their descendants, Theoden (can't really tell since he died in battle) or Theodwyn who got sick after giving birth, but maybe it effected Eomer and Eowyn. If it did it wouldn't be by much maybe a few years if that.

Also another thing we have to look at, Galador, founder of Dol Amroth. Had children with Mithrellas, an elf, but that did not make their descendants half-elves, so age between races doesn't work like ok she's 120 hes 90, their descendants now having a bit of numenorean blood will live longer. Age is really confusing and I'm not sure if I totally figured it out yet.
