They first meet at the ball in Meryton and enjoy an immediate mutual attraction. They are spoken of as a potential couple throughout the book, long before anyone imagines that Darcy and Elizabeth might marry.
Despite their centrality to the narrative, Jane and Bingley are vague characters, sketched by Austen rather than carefully drawn. Indeed, they are so similar in nature and behavior that they can be described together: both are cheerful, friendly, and good-natured, always ready to think the best of others; they lack entirely the prickly egotism of Elizabeth and Darcy.
Their principal characteristics are goodwill and compatibility, and the contrast of their romance with that of Darcy and Elizabeth is remarkable. Jane and Bingley exhibit to the reader true love unhampered by either pride or prejudice, though in their simple goodness, they also demonstrate that such a love is mildly dull.

Darcy states this at least twice. Wickham next. He can't be older than Darcy, since that would make marrying Georgiana look weird, and he should be young enough to be able to pull off the 'smooth rogue' thing.
So, about works. Maybe Seeing his faith in Darcy's opinion, I'd say he's younger than Darcy, and his equality with Jane they were friends even before they fell in love, even though that was short says that he might be about 22 or 23 as well.
I honestly don't know whether she's older of younger than her brother, but since she feels free to order him around, I'm guessing older. Old enough to be desperate to marry Darcy? Since Charlotte is practically 'on the shelf' at 27, it's safe to say that Caroline is around during the book.
I'm pretty sure we all know Charlotte is 27 or so, seeing as she's desperate enough to latch onto Collins. Her sister Maria, being Kitty and Lydia's friend Kitty goes to visit her during the 2nd proposal walk is about I'm not sure, tho. Colonel Fitzwilliam is probably older than Darcy, seeing as he's able to tease Darcy a bit before incurring his wrath. Maybe 29 or 30 at the opening of the book, and 31 at the end. Thanks for reading. Hope this helped!

If we'd all studied that And his second proposal says he's 28 or older. She was fifteen, making her sixteen by the time he writes that letter, and seventeen when the year ends.
That makes HIM Jun 03, AM. That makes Wickham 26 near the start of the book. Jun 05, AM. Still, two years apart isn't that far. My sister is two years younger than me, and she still keeps up with me pretty well.
So I'm sticking to for Darcy. But I can see the reasoning behind this, and it really is sound, so I applaud you! It's probably safe for Darcy to be about 27 or 28, so both our answers are at least VERY close if not the actual answer.
Isn't it only about one year apart? As the living became vacant two years ago Wickham is 26 and Darcy 27 at the beginning of the book and both are one year older at the end of it. Jun 07, AM. Again, no one really knows the age gap. Our estimates are probably pretty accurate and one of them is correct - but only Jane Austen can tell for sure.
She hasn't dropped many hints, and then there isn't enough evidence to back up only one claim. You could be right, but then, so could I. So let it rest and be satisfied with our estimates.

In reference to Bingley's age: I'm currently listening to Pride and Prejudice and I've just heard the part where it reads: "Bingley had not been of age 2 years when he was tempted by an accidental recommendation to look at Netherfield House Yeah, I'm sure that Charles and Jane are 22 or 23 in the book.
But I also think that since the year Darcy writes the letter is the second year of their acquaintance, Ramsgate was the summer of , the same autumn of which year he met Elizabeth. Not only does that explain his grump, it gives us more information about his age and Georgiana's. Georgiana is 16 by the time he writes the letter, which makes him at least His line in the second proposal indicates that he's at least 28, probably right then, as he speaks. So is my guess for Darcy, making Georgiana Elizabeth is , making her seven years Darcy's junior, and Georgiana twelve years.
