Charlie the oldest Weasley child went to Hogwarts starting in 1984
which would mean he was born in 1972.  So the Weasleys could be born
in as late as 1952 and graduating around 1970. The problem with that
is the gamekeeper position.

Sherrie here:

Except that Charlie ISN'T the oldest Weasley - he's the second-oldest.  
Bill
is the oldest - at least a year, though I'm more inclined to think it's 
two.

Now, Amberlyn--

It is ENTIRELY possible, though, that Hagrid didn't become gamekeeper 
or asst gamekeeper right away.  I mean he was 13-14 years old when 
expelled.  Perhaps Dumbledore helped him out in some way.  Then while 
Molly and Arthur were in school, they would have had Ogg.  And when he 
retired, much like with Prof. Kettleburn, Dumbledore came to Hagrid 
with a job.  Perhaps Hagrid worked at the Hog's Head for Aberforth, and 
took care of his goats.  Maybe he traveled the world learning how to 
take care of creatures.
