Though most of the Mirkwood elves were Silvan, Legolas and his father Thranduil were Sindarin. Thranduil was a resident of Doriath in the First Age. I don't think Legolas's birthdate or age is stated anywhere.
Gimli was born in 2879 making him about 139 at the time of the War of the Ring. That's fairly young for a dwarf. Bilbo's adventure occured in 2941.
