No one knows when Joseph was born. Joseph's date of birth isn't indicated in The Bible. The year that Jesus was born isn't indicated in the Bible.

Additional Comments:

In our era though many biblical scholars have narrowed the date to the fall (September to October probably during the Feast of Trumpets) of 5-4 BC. This was 6 months after Elizabeth gave birth to John the Baptists.

Consider that Joseph had to walk about 100 miles to get to Bethlehem for the Roman census - not a feat for an older man to take alone with a pregnant wife. He also had other children with Mary so he wasn't beyond the 'age' of having them. Some say he was about 21-25 when engaged to Mary who was 12-14. The Jewish Temple would have had all this information to allow the marriage but it was fully destroyed by Rome in 70 AD.
