There are other things like if we assume Kristoff and David are close in age, Kristoff was 23ish when David has long hair and before he left his farm. So, I guess David and Snow really are Emma's age.''' As for season 7, I have a little crackpot. Thomaston is pretty much Storybrooke in location, according to the show. School ended in 2016/2017 on June 12th. The contract of Roni's was suppose to read June 28, 2017. So, my theory is.....

1 Year in NEF = 1 Day in LWM

We know at least 12 to 17/20 years have passed. So, what if June 12th was roughly the day Henry left then we have 15 days before everybody landed in Hyperion Heights (as Lucy found Henry the day before Roni was presented the contract). There's wiggle room for Henry to have left a day or so later as well as June 12th is just an approximation for Storybrooke's school year end date.

This seems fairly reasonable as Henry left June 2017 and HH appeared at the end of June 2017, lol. Timeline still doesn't add up. Given feats things like Maleficent meeting Regina and Zelena meeting Rumple would have had to happen within the same year. We know this because Regina learned how to create a fireball during the time Zelena meet Rumple(It is shown) and we see Regina still struggling to create a fireball by time she meets Maleficent. Thus these two things would have happened within the same year. Hell these things would have had to happen a couple of months apart. We also know that it was only a couple a Weeks/months after her father died before Regina sent the Huntsman to kill Snow white. Like 2 months later Snow met Red. Within that same year she unknowningly met David and created a love flower. This was around the same time Rumple came to David to replace James. James would have died within the same year and this was the same time Regina posed as a peasant to try to kill Snow white. We know this because the Deal Regina struck with Rumple was to stop trade with King George to Bankrupt him. At this point she would have had to already met Tinkerbell as the King was still alive. Also during this time Snow and David would have officially met after she robbed him. a Max of 2 years later they would have married and had Emma. Possibly 3 years. This is me giving the benefit of doubt. A big part about Snow and Charming relationship is that it moved along fast. So 3 years seems excessive but whatever. And ofcourse we know Regia cast the curse the day Emma was born.

This all amounts to six years max. Even if we add in another 6 years of padding before Regina kills the king, that would only be 12 years which would only make Snow white 22 Years old. Otherwise you would need the events to stretch over 18 years or Snow would have had to be 14-16 when she met Regina.

Given evidence within the story there is no way it was 18 years before Regina cast the curse. The timeline doesn't add up. There is alot of evidence that support this things happening within the same time frame.
