The character's ages

So, Boimler graduated the Academy in '79 (same year as Nemesis), so he's in his early 20s in Lower Decks, assuming he's not a child prodigy like Wesley.

Rutherford and Tendi seem similar, Mariner is older by nearly a decade (she's been serving since at least 2372, or season 4 of DS9), so she's late 20s, maybe 30 by Lower Decks Season One.

This also means that Boimler would be nearly 39 in Picard season one.

For other points of comparison: Boimler is actually younger than Jake Sisko. Mariner is about the same age as Harry Kim or is Wesley's Age (and she was a child prodigy like Wesley given she was younger than Sito). Incidentally, this also means that Mariner is slightly older than Raffi.

That's assuming we're not going with the actor's ages, which screws everything up and makes Boims a late arrival at Starfleet Academy at 27 and Mariner around 40 in Season 4 or four years older than Wesley, which would have her be about 20 in Starfleet Academy flashback (which is actually quite reasonable)

We know that Picard could be a Lieutenant Junior Grade in his sixties too so this isn't necessarily a mistake.
 
How old would you say Jack Ransom is?

I don't think he is as old as his voice actor (O'Connell is 50) perhaps the same 28 age as Riker was at the start of TNG?
 
Shaxs I'd place as mid-to-late forties. Given he was in the Bajoran Resistance with Kira, I doubt he'd be older than Shakaar, who assuming he was the same age as the actor would have been in his forties when we saw him on DS9 and would be in his fifties in the time period Lower Decks takes place in. T'Ana might be in her fifties, I get the impression they're going for the "crusty old doctor" thing with her. Migleemo no idea, but I guess forties or fifties is as good as anything.
