Do you ever check who as the same birth date as you ?

To my horror I found that Diane Abbott MP shares the same birth except I am 7 years older. ? I am much happier with Gwyneth Paltrow.

My long term foster son had the same birthday as my own maternal G.mother, whilst his bioligical mother shared a birthday with my mother.
My youngest two children were twins, obviously the same birthday, and one of those gave birth to her second child on that date.

I was born on my Auntie's birthday - don't think she ever really forgave me for stealing her spotlight...! On the other hand, I gained a lot of street cred at school for sharing my birthday with John Lennon smile

Voltaire
Magritte
Goldie Hawn
Bjork

I thought there were more, but after searching several websites, they're the only ones I've heard of.

Also Hetty Green - "The Witch of Wall Street". Had made $100 Million by the end of her life in 1916. Not really a role model, as she was a chronic miser and only had one dress apparently.

and having read the thread, I share my birthday with at least one other gransnetter grin

I would far rather share a birthday with Diane Abbott than with Gwyneth Paltrow! Unfortunately my birthday twin is Adolf Hitler. I was born on his last birthday, when I imagine he was not having much fun.

Elizabeth Taylor (unfortunately I don't get the diamonds!) and Peter Andre.

Same birthday as me, then, maryhoffman, although he was dead by the time I was born.
You could always say it was the same day as Napoleon Bonaparte!

pamdixon Sat 30-Sept-17 10:18:21

Bill Clinton (and we are the same age and we are both left-handed!)

pamdixon Sat 30-Sept-17 10:20:23

and my sister and my grandson share a birthday. My husband shares a birthday with his brother (who is 5 years younger) and my grand-daughter shares a birthday with my nephew and my mother and her sister shared a birthday too (4 years apart). Is my family unusual?!

I share with Lilypops and John Lennon. Chris O'Dowd, one of my favourite comic actors too.

AlexG Sat 30-Sept-17 10:24:37

I share mine with Bruno Mars, Sigourney Weaver, Chevy Chase and Juan Peron!

...and SueDoku....we need to have a joint party round at David Cameron's. He'll have plenty of room!

gran5up Sat 30-Sept-17 10:25:28

David Attenborough, Gary Glitter, Jackie Charlton footballer, Henri Dunant Red Cross founder...and you, Alima flowers

King Felipe IV of Spain, Phil Collins, Peter Crouch, Christian Bale, oh and Winston Churchill's funeral was held on my 17th birthday and Mahatma Ghandi was assassinated the day I was born.

W11girl Sat 30-Sept-17 10:32:24

I don't check who has the same birthday as me, because it doesn't really bother me. However, for the purpose of this exercise I looked it up...and guess what, nobody I have ever heard of shares my birthday! Hoorah, I've got it all to myself!!

Terrystred Sat 30-Sept-17 10:39:11

Douglas Adams - born the same day as me but sadly gone already.

minxie Sat 30-Sept-17 10:48:15

I share with my son, and my birthday has never been the same since.

durhamjen Sat 30-Sept-17 10:50:25

I have four nephews and nieces who share the same birthdate, all different ages.

Lindylou57 Sat 30-Sept-17 11:03:14

The late Lauren Bacall and actress Amy Poehler.

libra10 Sat 30-Sept-17 11:08:46

Matt Damon and Sigourney Weaver.

Heather51 Sat 30-Sept-17 11:15:42

I share mine with Daniel Craig - anyone else with the same birthday - hands off, I bagged him first grin

Mapleleaf Sat 30-Sept-17 11:18:03

I've just checked
Hugh Grant
Otis Redding
Leo Tolstoy
Colonel Sanders(KFC)
Michael Buble
Got Wan

Happy birthday for tomorrow, amt101 flowers

June 15th doesn't have many people of whom I have heard, apart from Demis Roussos in the same year, and the Black Prince in 1330. I also know that the Magna Carta was signed on that day in 1215.

fiorentina51 Sat 30-Sept-17 11:18:32

Marcus Aurelius and Rudolf Hess. ?

Peep Sat 30-Sept-17 11:20:17

Melania Trump apparently!
