re: How old is Gollum supposed to be?

So what other creatures in Middle Earth are Gollums age, and what marked events was he alive during?

The only characters who outlived Gollum were Elves and Wizards. Gandalf and Saruman were still around at that time. Dwarves live a long time, like up to 300 years, but I don't think any of them were alive at the time that Gollum found the Ring.
