The only way to find the exact dates is to order the certs.

You can view the baptism, marriage and burial registers at the Records Office for the area where the event took place.

The baptism register may or may not have the date of birth.

The marriage register will give exactly the same details as you'd get on a cert.

The burial register doesn't usually give the date of death.

Leslie,

Mary is quite right about marriage register entries but I would say that birth certificates for all direct ancestors are essential if you want to have full confidence that you are pursuing the correct line.

You could always ask the relative who wants to know to pay the £14.00 for the two birth certs.

If they died after 1969 then their dates of birth will be in the deaths index.
