In the book Wuthering Heights; how much older is Nelly than Cathy (Earnshaw)?

[whlchellhleblkbr13]

In the book Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte; Nelly is how many years/months older than Cathy Earnshaw?

If possible, could you also tell me how much older is Nelly than Hindley?
And the same question but with Heathcliff instead of Hindley or Cathy?

From the book, we know that Nelly cared for the two children, but was also Hindley's childhood playmate, so approximately six or seven years older than Cathy, and maybe one or two years older than Hindley. No one knows Heathcliff's exact age, he might be even younger than Catherine, minumum 1 year younger, maximum 2 years older. So that makes Heathcliff six to eight years younger than Nelly.
