    According to Conan Doyle when was Sherlock Holmes born?

    Question #46788. Asked by welllady.

    Doyle didn't specify a date in any of the original stories. It is accepted by fans to be either 5th or 6th of January because of vague references to the Twelth day or Twelth night after Christmas in the books.
