In Act five, scene one of Hamlet, we hear this conversation between Hamlet and the gravedigger:
Hamlet: How long hast thou been a grave-maker?
Gravedigger: Of all the days i' the year, I came to't that day our last King Hamlet overcame Fortinbras.
Hamlet: How long is that since?
Gravedigger: Cannot you tell that? Every fool can tell that: it was the very day young Hamlet was born.
Later, the gravedigger says, "I have been sexton here, man and boy, thirty years." The conclusion is that since the gravedigger started work on Hamlet's birthday and he has been working for thirty years, Hamlet must be thirty years old.
