Unlike many religions Buddhism does not feel that an individual is created sometime after conception and lives fo some 100 years before death - one kick at the can as it were. Instead the Buddhist lives through countless cycles of death and re-birth on the path to enlightenment. As a consequence there is no beginig or end. Besides, many of these types of questions an individual can tie up his thoughts pondering the unanswerable, wasting time that could be more productively spent overcoming the mind hinderances that keep him or her in the cycle of death and re-birth.

Answer:
This is not a Buddhist concern. "Life" is held to be separate from 'existence". A person or sentient being cycles through life and death countless times before potentially achieving Nirvana and breaking out of the cycle of death and rebirth. Estimating when each individuals "start: was is a waste of effort which could more properly be spent in improving oneself.
