When was the Virgin Mary born?
It is not directly stated in the Bible. Popular tradition says her parents were named Anne or Anna ( which means Grace) and Joachim. the Agreda ( City Of God) is in effect a Marian biography but is largely based on unsupported theorizing.

Mother Mary's birthday is celebrated on September 8th
This is hard to say, as they got married young then, and Mary was only engaged to Joseph. Also there were no records of birth and death like today.
"Too old" is highly subjective. Nuns and priests of many religions are never "too old," for example.
If you feel it's too old, then it probably is in your case, and you may be "involuntarily celibate" or "incel" -- that's an emerging term for older virgins, or people who have great difficulty getting into intimate relationships in general. There are many reasons behind it, but odds are you aren't the only one in your situation.

Roman Catholic AnswerJesus had no siblings. The word frequently translated as brothers or brethren, in the Hebrew and Aramaic can mean any relation or even a group that was not related. The same word is used in various places in the Bible to indicate uncle/nephew, cousin, etc. Also, the Church has consistently taught that Mary was ever virgin, before, during, and after the birth of Jesus. A pretty revealing incident is from the cross when Jesus entrust Mary to His apostle, John. This certainly wouldn't have happened if Jesus had siblings.
