Best Answer

Bombur's age is never given in The Hobbit or any of the other source material. It can be assumed that he was one of the younger members of the party since he was the younger brother to Bofur. All that's known for certain is that he was still alive just before the War of the Ring. Frodo asked about him and was told that he'd grown so large that it took 6 Dwarves to lift him to the table.

The reason we don't know his age is because he was not "royal". Bifur, Bofur and Bombur were not of Durin's Folk and were from common stock. The most likely reason they were along was to act as an honor guard for Thorin, the king (though his is never explicitly described by Tolkien, there are plenty of references that support the idea).

Do any members of Thorins company survive the Lord of the Rings?

It is possible that they do, though they are getting very old at that point and do not appear in the movie or book, other than in some of the appendices. Three of them (Thorin, Fili and Kili) do not survive the events in The Hobbit. And we know that Balin, Dwalin, Ori and Oin died in Moria before the events of The Lord of the Rings gets started. Gloin, father of Gimli, was alive for about 15 years after the LotR. Of the others Bombur is known to have been living at the start of the LotR. Otherwise, nothing is recorded by Tolkien.
