Maybe some one can add to this, however I can find nothing that gives her exact age at the time of John's birth. It is said she was advanced in years and also, "Elizabeth had conceived a son in her old age."

∙ 9y agoSomeone has said that she was in her late 30's early 40's when John the Baptist was born but even though there is no age given, we know that is not even close to being a possible age.
Everyone considered it a miracle and her husband told the angel he was an old man and his wife "well striken" in years. He wouldn't have doubted the angel if she had been in in her forties as lots of women have children in their 40's and even fifties. She had to be at least in her late 60's or older because the angel told Mary that her cousin Elizabeth was having a baby in her old age and even 60 is not considered old age. Linda Marek
