Geoff:
Tsk, tsk, it's clearly there in  Philsopher's Stone:

'"Now, yer mum an' dad were as good a witch an'  wizard as I ever 
knew. Head Boy an' Girl at Hogwarts in their day! Suppose  the myst'ry 
is why You-Know-Who never tried to get 'em on his side before...  
probably knew they were too close ter Dumbledore ter want anythin' 
ter  do with the Dark Side.
Maybe he thought he could persuade 'em... maybe he  just wanted 'em 
outta the way. All anyone knows is, he turned up in the  village where 
you was all living, on Hallowe'en ten years ago. You was just  a year 
old. He came ter yer house an' - an'-"
Hagrid suddenly pulled out  a very dirty spotted, handkerchief and 
blew his nose with a sound like a  foghorn.'

(PS "The Keeper of the Keys" p.43 UK edition)

So this  places it on 31st October 1981.

Kaylee now: *runs up to Geoff and randomly hugs him, inviting him aboard  
Captain Amber's ship, the SWAK DEAD, for some butterbeer (fresh from the  
dementor-shaped tap)* Thank you!! Thank you, Geoff!! Okay, perhaps I'm a little  
hyper. I *knew* it was PS/SS!!! *vows to remember the relevant canon from now  on* 
 
Kaylee Tonks-Lupin, First Mate of the SWAK DEAD as well as Shipmate of the  
DRIBBLE SHADOWS, doing both jobs ably and well
