I wonder why they made him older in the show. It's usually in the interest of TV to make the lead character younger...  Not sure they actually did make him older as we've never heard anything about his birthday in the show, just on the timeline which is wrong on other things. I vote for making him younger but that throws off George's character a bit as I get the impression he's supposed to be a few years younger. Don't forget they were wrong on the MARRIAGE DATE! |

Yeah because of Decoration (Memorial) Day. They had to change it. |

This is true but I'm thinking that was just the person that answered the question. They probably didn't think about the holiday in the ep. |

I'm kind of hoping that we played a role in questioning the original date.   And now we can play a role in rectifying the timelines, too. I think if we straighten it out here, and then put it in the guide book thread, the MM PTB will probably just adopt it.  |

I've been working on a timeline for who William's met and his 'inventions' among other things. |

It doesn't correspond to anything (so far as I know) in the show. It's strange. Where did the date 1861 come from? Why that? It makes no sense. |

Maureen Jennings lists July 4, 1863 as William's birthdate. You know, because there's not enough discontinuity going on. Yes, it's hard to know which year to use, book William is born in 1863, show William in 1861 according the the timeline on the MurdochOnCBC fb page. But then they use 1876 as the year his mother died which would make him 15, in the show he's 8, I think I've also heard 11 somewhere, in Shipwreck she's still alive when he's 12. I think if we're talking about the show then we need to use only the dates/ages used in the show. I'm wondering what they'll do with the Shipwreck episode as far as age goes and if his mother will still be alive. We may have even more confusion after that. If we go with the 1863 date on Maureen Jennings's Website, Murdoch is Nine when he finds his mother's body. This works with his size of how he looks in the show, and statments made by the character. He does not look 11-which is what he would be if we go with the Facebook date of 1861. With the 1863 date this would make George around 4 years younger than Murdoch. This can be used as a basis for the Ogden sisters as well, as Julia is close to William's age and Ruby is close to George's. |

Well in Murdochophobia, he says he was eight when he found her body...I'd go with that. I always thought Ruby was like a decade younger than Julia but I'm not sure where I got that idea from. Might just be the actresses actual age. |

It just occurred to me to look in the MM calendar, it has William's b'day including the year, July 2, 1863 and this is from the show. Unfortunately it doesn't have the other character's b'days. It does have the actors b'days too btw. |
