Trying to find the crews specific ages

So I have been researching and Mals age is frustratingly inconsistent, somehow he has three different dates listed! Im going with March 27, 2486 for Mal then than makes:
- Mal 31
- Zoe 29
- Simon 27
- River 17 (this is believable since she was already 14 when the Academy first interviewed her, add a little over two years for Simon to get her out and give or take a few months/weeks that easily makes her 17 by the time she is brought onboard Serenity on the pilot. Add 8 months for the Maidenhead fiasco and and shes closer to 18 by the time the Operative makes an appearance in Serenity, where Zoe and Mals ages are found.)
- Jayne, Inara, and Kaylee are still unknown. I couldnt find One source for them!...although Inara was hinted a being born late in the 25th century but that doesnt help much or make much sense (River was born on 2500, wouldnt late 25th century make Inara younger than River?!) so meh im inoring that one too.
- Yes im skipping Book and Wash Im lazy ok!
Why did I spend so much time trying to figure their ages out? I really wanted to figure out Rivers age and how far apart she was from everyone else...and, maybe, how far apart River and Mal are:: Holy smokes batman their roughly 17 years apart!
Im going to cheat since some of these dates are scenes from Serenity [the movie], some are only props and some are specuation based on events/the actors ages in the Firefly scenes; to make River and Simon 1-2 years older. Not MUCH of a difference but dang my OTP is Mal/River and 15 is better than 17 years apart so im gonna go with it!
