What age are the Barton boys meant to be? The mum just looks a little too young to be Petes mum I think.

I think the boys are about two years apart. Peter being the eldest. So Emma ought to be in her fifties at least - but some 50 year-old ladies look quite classy now!!

Pete and Ross and Fin are currently 28 and 25 and 22, so only a couple of years each below the actor’s actual ages, so plausible.

With another forum member mentioning a link stating James’ age as 45 possibly going on 46 that could suggest Emma is a year or two younger say 44, so only a couple of years older than Gillian’s actual (she turns 43 in May!).

Finn is recorded as being 22 suggesting James was only 23 when he had his third son (sorry 4th if you include beardy Adumb) and Emma was trying to cope as a young farmers wife with three children aged six and under whist only being around 22 herself. I am assuming we are expected to believe she had Pete when she was 17 and Ross a few years later, meaning Ross was two/three when the incident happened and therefore six years before Pete gave her the final goodbye shove when he was twelve.

On reflection, I think the fact Gillian looks young for her age actually fits in with the storyline of a mother who has all her children before she her 23rd birthday and therefore is able to retain her naturally slim physique. On a sad note it also explains why she couldn’t cope with three small boys within a remote farm existence supported by an equally young unsympathetic husband trying to hold onto his youth and pub mates.
