Born in same year or same date

In same year

On the same date

Only one date, 23 April, has been the birthday of more than one Prime Minister—Frederick Whitaker and Edward Stafford. The birthday problem indicates that, on average, a birthday will be shared after about 25 Prime Ministers have served. The Whitaker–Stafford birthday coincidence, the only one to date, occurred after only five distinct Prime Ministers had served.

Seven prime ministers – John Ballance, Francis Bell, Thomas Mackenzie, William Massey, George Forbes, Michael Joseph Savage and Jack Marshall were born in the month of March.
Only one prime minister – Sidney Holland was born in the month of October.
Only one prime minister – John Hall was born in the month of December.
