In Welcome to Storybrooke, a newspaper shows the date to be September 23 on the first day after the curse, further confirming Emma's birthday. As for Snow, Charming, and Ella, they may look closer in age because of the age of the actors, but the show confirms Ella is 19 at the time of the curse. Emma claims that her parents are the same age as her, so they are probably not 5 years younger. It also seems weird for David and Mary Margaret to be that young, considering their roles in Storybrooke.
