Hi! (I'll try to answer, even though I'm not Susannah - I'm sure she'll help me with the exact references, though.)

From what I remember, Kenneth was supposed to be of the same age as Walter Blythe. Walter was born in spring of 1893. (I think it is mentioned at the end of Anne's House of Dreams, that Anne discovered she was pregnant again. If not, it is stated somewhere in the later books.) For Ken to be of the same age, he must have been born in 1893 too. However, his parents' wedding took place in December 1892 (as mentioned in AHoD, chapter 40 – "Leslie was busy with sewing, for she and Owen were to be married at Christmas.") It is a bit unlikely for Kenneth to be born in spring, unless Leslie and Owen conceived him before their wedding. (A bit unlikely, considering the era this novel is set in.)
