Elsa is imprisoned in the urn in 1979 or 1980 (according to your timeline) and Ingrid arrives in out world a year before the curse in 1982. So, in 1979/80, Elsa, 21, is imprisoned in the Urn.

Twenty one years prior is 1958/59; according to your timeline, Snow is born c.1953 and Stable Boy, the marriage of Regina and Leopold, etc, occur in 1963... when Elsa is already four (or five, depending on the year of Elsa's imprisonment) years old meaning Ingrid is already in the urn, Helga is dead and Gerda has married her husband.

About "The Snow Queen" (I assume you are referring to this episode, and not "Family Business"): The key words here are "approximate time". These events are hard to pin down exactly in relation to the other events, because we don't know how many years passed between this episode and Elsa's imprisonment. Therefore, the timeline placement is approximate, which the description already states. I've assumed that Elsa is minimum circa twenty years old by the time she is imprisoned in the urn, but that is a minimum - she can easily be older than that (Georgina was almost 30 when she played the role, and Elsa's casting call refers to her as late-20s/early-30s), and we don't know how old Gerda was when she gave birth to her either. Since the sections that describe "The Stable Boy" and the following are fairly easy to pin down in relation to each other, but "The Snow Queen" is not, I figured it was better to just list "The Snow Queen" before all of them, with a note saying "approximate time" - especially since it is highly possible that "The Snow Queen" does indeed take place before these events. As far as I am aware, the show states it's been five years since their parents died, right? Elsa was crowned a year after they died at 18... so there's another three years to account for, making her definitely 21 at the time she's imprisoned in the urn.
