I haven't found anyone in my tree who shares mine but, a bit OT, had a funny experience at a company. I was new and shared an office with a woman a good few years older. She was a bit stiff-lipped and I didn't feel very welcome.

On my birthday, a man walked into the office with a large bunch of flowers and I gaped - who could possibly know it was my birthday? He then gave them to my colleague and wished her happy birthday. This broke the ice for about a week  ;D

The neighbour in the house opposite also shares my birthday.

On my tree I share my birthday with a 1st cousin 4 times removed, born in 1859, and that is all out of a very large tree. My mother, however, had the same birthday as her grandmother, and it was the date she was due to have me, only I decided to be nearly two weeks late.

I do, however, share a birthday with a friend's sister, including being born in the same year. We are not at all alike!

Not shared with anyone on my tree, but Sir Donald Bradman and Mother Theresa and I all share 27 August    ;D  ;D  ;D

Other shared dates - my cousin has 2 children, a boy and a girl and they were born exactly 2 years apart, i.e. both with same birthday but different years.

And I've noted that several things in the family have happened on 9th August - births, deaths, marriages!  And that's spread over both my mum's and my dad's 'trees'   ???   ???   ???
