I think Cailan is 27, Anora is 30, Loghain is 50, and Duncan is probably in his 40s-50s.

I don't know of any explicit age statements. According to Alistair, Duncan's dreams had started to get bad, so he was probably close to his 30 years as a Grey Warden, which puts him closer to 50, if you assume he was 20-ish when he became a Grey Warden.
I've always assumed that Alistair is in his early 20s, though -- been through his basic education and his Templar training and about to take his vows... he logically couldn't be much older than that, assuming the Templar training isn't something crazy like 10 years. They'd want their fighters to be younger for the best physical condition, like modern professional sports players, is kind of how I imagine it.

Duncan I'd say is about early 40's, going by the Calling. He was definitely younger than Maric in that book, who is about the same age as Loghain. The others, though, you are spot on, I think.
It's even funnier that Eamon is supposed to be younger than Loghain (at least about 45, I think) but looks like his grandpa, lol

I somewhat doubt that Loghain was 20 when he fathered Anora.

And doesn't it state in RtO that Anora is 5 years older than Cailan? Who is only a couple of years older than Alistair? Might be misremembering that...

It says in Cailan's documents that Anora is "approaching her 30th year."
dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Codex_entry:_Cailan%27s_Documents_-_Page_2_of_3
That's an interesting letter in other ways, as well. It casts a new light on Eamon's character - he had been trying to convince Cailan to leave Anora, apparently.
Then, as it so happens, Cailan was planning to drop Anora and hook up with Empress Celene instead. Something seems awfully suspicious about that - was Cailan and Celene getting together also Eamon's idea?
So much political intrigue and secrecy in these games. I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

Loghain is described as about Maric's age in TSR. That puts him at around 52-53 in Origins.
Duncan, going by The Calling is, I'd say, mid 40s at most.
Anora - late twenties. Cailan is a year younger.

Just saying Cailen is 9 or 10 years older than Alistair, presuming the baby from the calling is Alistair, so id say hes 28 29 (Loghain says hes a "very young man"). Anora should be early 30s, the codex from return to Ostagar says shes getting towards the end of child bearing age so she could be older we can presume Loghain is around 25 ish years older than her. Duncans probably in his 50s, his dreams have gotten worse so it been around 50 years since he joined the wardens and in The calling he sounds and acts likes someone in there early 20 year old bla bla.
id say
Anora - 33
Loghain - 58
Cailen - 29
Duncan - 51 54
And Alistair probably 20ish
Just another point on his Templar training wasnt it stated in DA2 how long Kerrens training was, cant remember the number, or was that just because of his potential possession i dunno /finish

Anora is approaching 30, not in her thirties. That's documented. How close to thirty is not - she could be 27-29. And as I said, Cailan's a year younger (also documented).
Loghain isn't that old, he and Maric were around 21-22 at the Battle of River Dane. He'd be 53 at most.

Duncans taint was accelerated and then slowed down in the prequel novel "The Calling"
If thats any help.

If Alistair was 18 in 9:30 Dragon (I thought he was older - I have a hard time believing he could be any younger)
That means he was born 9:12 Dragon
If Cailen is 9 or 10 years older he'd have had to have been born before Maric took back his throne (the war continued for sevral years (3 or 4) after River Dane) not saying that he couldn't have been but I seem to think that's not quite how it happened (can't remember why right

SPOILERS for The Calling
Wasn't his the only one that wasn't?

That's right, he had the magic dagger so it protected him from the accelerated taint. He should age like a normal warden.
Regarding Alistair, if you take the view that he is a certain book character's son, then he's about 21 at the beginning of Origins. But if you take the view that is the chamber maid's son, then he could be a little older. It is left deliberately ambiguous. He would, in any case, be younger than Cailan.

The Calling & TST Spoilers (Well maybe spoilers, it's basically the blurb)
That's even worse! They entered the Deep Roads in 8:99 Blessed, didn't they? Perhaps 8:98 at the earliest but River Dane was in 8:99 because the dragon shows up just before the battle.

The Wiki wrote...
Dragon Age: The Calling is the second novel to be set in the Dragon Age universe. It is set approximately fourteen years after King Maric Theirin and his companions ventured into the Deep Roads as described in Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne and eleven years after the Orlesian occupation of Ferelden was brought to an end at the close of the Blessed Age.
