Ginny said she had wanted to go to Hogwarts since *Bill* was there.  
But you're right.  Depending on how much older Bill is than Charlie, 
they both would have been in school when Ginny was born.  My Message 
76426 gives a lot more detail about the timeline I calculated.  Bill 
isn't on the timeline, but AFIK there is no canon to calculate his 
age other than he is older than Charlie.  My guess is 1-2 years 
difference, but that is just a guess.
