Probably the daizenshuu. I forget which one had the timeline in it, but it lists some birthdays.

Eh, good call. Take the list with a grain of salt, in any case, but I guess as a quick reference, it's okay.

Maybe it's a typo?

I didn't know Videl was older than Gohan for awhile...

From my understanding she is.

I've heard she's anywhere from 1 to 5 years older than Pan.

The Ask Toriyama section of DB vol. 10 has someone asked Toriyama about their ages, and he just put Yamcha as around 20 at the time of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai, and didn't say for Oolong and Puar. Said to just calculate from Krillin's age at the last tournament.

Wasn't Turtle older than that during the Garlic Jr. saga?

EDIT: I'm sure of it. There were LOADS of candles on his birthday cake.

Well according to Landmark which I've been told is pretty consistent with the Daizenshuu, the say that Gokuh is around 18 at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai but I guess it could just as well be 19 since it's "around" and Gokuh's age is a pretty uncertain thing in general since he wasn't born on earth and he couldn't count all that well as a child.

I can't even count how many times this topic has come up and I've posted huge lists from scratch...I should just go look them up and copy/paste.

But I'll just do Goku now. (This only uses information from the Manga, by the way...)

The 21'st Tenka'ichi Budokai - 12
The 22'nd Tenka'ichi Budokai - 15
The 23'rd Tenka'ichi Budokai - 18
Raditz' Arrival - 23

(From here on out, years since birth will be in bold and physical age will be in italic.)

Battle with Vegeta - 24, 23
Arrival on Namek - Might be the same as the battle with Vegeta, but there's a small chance his birthday was in this time period. You do the math.
Return to Earth - 26, 25
The Artificial Humans - 29, 28
Enter the Cell Game - 29, 29

Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Boo - 36, 29
10 years later - 46, 39
DragonBall GT - Lol.

If there's something you don't understand, I can explain anything and everything and why it is accurate from the Manga. I reall have no idea what the Anime or Daizenshuu or dub has to say on the matter.

"Dragon Ball Z Son Gokû Densetsu" lists Gokû as being:

0 (birth (really?))
1 (adopted by Son Gohan/hit himself on the head)
12-15 (from his meeting with Bulma to him defeating Piccolo Daimaô)
18-19 (from his third tournament to the birth of Gohan)
24 (Saiyans / Freeza chapters)
29 (Androids / Cell chapters)
37 (most of the Majin-Boo chapter)
47 (end of the manga)

I don't think there's any reason to overanalyze these numbers (they don't even say if that's supposed to be his chronological age or his biological one, for example), but hey...

Nah, I don't think that's right at all. XD

And just for the record, Tenshinhan at age 4 equals OMGsocute. (Forgive the burst of 'net-speak.) ><

On a much more serious note, I've always been interested in the characters ages; it's a shame that Toriyama didn't provide those little character details..

If Goku and Chichi were born on the same day, why is she getting older than him by six years in your post?

You mean Roshi's post quoted from MFG? It lists 'physical' age. Goku doesn't age while he's dead - and he's dead a fair amount of the time. First for that year between Raditz and Vegeta, then those seven years. So, Chichi (if born the same day, which seems unlikely - same year perhaps, not same day) should be 7 or 8 years older than Goku by the Buu saga.

See: My last post.

I can do the rest of the characters if anyone wants. I guarentee they won't be wrong, so long as it's a character who's age was actually stated at some point. If not? Meh.

Depends what series you go by. XD If you go by DBZ, Bra's a year younger than Pan. If you go by GT, she's a year older. Though the GT ages are all off on that list anyway, especially Pan's. Pan was 9 in GT and Bra was 8 or 10, depending which age you want to use. XD
