(Wiki mentions something about Ukitake and Kyouraku having trained with him "thousands of years before the current Bleach storyline" o.o but I haven't read the manga, so I can't really comment on that one.) Hitsugaya and Yachiru? Also not so much with the getting older. Yet clearly others, like Rukia and Renji, have aged.
I would also mention that it's quite possible not all the Shinigami died as young children: the Kuchiki family, for example, implies that its members were indeed born in Soul Society. (Unless you want to argue they were a family in life and then... each conveniently died at appropriate ages for flashbacks or something?)
Maybe you can only get old and die if you were born in Soul Society?
But yeah, any kind of death when you're already dead just seems ridiculous. Though I guess you can't have epic battles if there aren't any consequences.
Btw, 12th squad with all its technologically advanced computers and stuff... yet no meds for Ukitake's TB? Or maybe you're stuck with your illnesses forever? That's a great incentive to cross over to Soul Society... >.>
