About John Lightfoot’s Bible Commentary.
A Commentary on the New Testament From the Talmud and Hebraica by John Lightfoot"
He wrote:
"VI.
It is probable Christ was born at the feast of Tabernacles.
- So it ariseth exactly to three-and-thirty years and a half, when he died at the feast of the Passover”
The entire passage is found here, about 1/3 of the way down:

I also found this on line.
"Matthew Henry states:
"It is supposed by many that our blessed Saviour was born much about the time of the Feast of Tabernacles;
He left his mansions of light above to tabernacle among us (John 1:14), and he dwelt in booths.
The Bible does not specifically say the date of Jesus' birth. We know it was not during the winter months because the sheep were in the pasture (Luke 2:8).
A study of the time of the conception of John the Baptist reveals he was conceived about Sivan 30, the eleventh week.
When Zechariah was ministering in the temple, he received an announcement from God of a coming son. The eighth course of Abia, when Zechariah was ministering, was the week of Sivan 12 to 18 (Killian n.d.).
Adding forty weeks for a normal pregnancy reveals that
John the Baptist was born on or about Passover (Nisan 14).
We know six months after John's conception, Mary conceived Jesus (Luke 1:26-33). Therefore, Jesus would have been conceived six months later in the month of Kislev. Kislev 25 is Hanukkah. Was the “light of the world” conceived on the festival of lights?
Starting at Hanukkah, which begins on Kislev 25 and continues for eight days, and counting through the nine months of Mary’s pregnancy, one arrives at the approximate time of the birth of Jesus at the Festival of Tabernacles (the early fall of the year).
During the Feast of Tabernacles, God required all male Jews to come to Jerusalem.
Joseph and Mary were unable to find a room at the inn because of the influx of so many pilgrims.
They may have been given shelter in a Sukkah, which is built during a seven-day period each year accompanying the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles.
The fields would have been dotted with Sukkoths during this harvest time to temporary shelter animals.
The Hebrew word “stable” is called a Sukkoth (Gen. 33:17).
"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn (Luke 2:7)."
Joseph and Mary took the child and flew to Egypt and remained there until they were told by God that Herod was dead.
Joseph and Mary brought the baby Jesus into Jerusalem forty days from His birth for Mary's purification and the child's dedication (according to Torah this had to be done within forty days of the birth of a male child–not doing so is considered a sin).
This indicates that Herod died within the same forty days, because as long as Herod was alive, they could not appear at the Temple. (According to Josephus’ calculations, Herod's death occurred during the Autumn in the fourth year before the Common Era 4 b.c.e.).
End of Quote:
Concerning the date of birth: From 1/14 until 7/15 is exactly 6 months, going forwards or backwards, thus being born on 7/15 and dying on 1/14 proves Christ died at exactly 33 ½ years of age – to the day
