Close in age (probably): Edward and Elinor. Bingley and Jane. Probably: Charles and Mary Musgrove. Henrietta Musgrove and Henry Hayter. Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill. John and Isabella Knightley.
True, though, that not many of the major couples are close in age.
Also, I think Knightley is 16 when Emma is born, and that they are 21 and 37 in the book, but as his brother is younger than him and her sister is older than her by at least several years, I think their sibs are close in age.
