 * When Snow is 10, Regina is 18.


 * 18 years later, when the curse is cast, Regina is 36 (according to Emma in 3x01 she and her parents are "the same age"; according to the timeline in 3x11, it's less than a year between 1x01 and 3x011, so Emma is STILL 28 and Regina still 36.)


 * Then there's the "missing year"; Regina turns 37.


 * According to Fiona - and, assuming she's right - then Henry is 14 in 6x22, meaning approx 3 years have passed and Regina should be 40.


 * Then there's a gap of approximately 2 years between "The Final Battle" and Henry leaving in "Hyperion Heights", between 2015 and late 2017 as he's approx 16 years and 10 months old, meaning Regina is about 42 when Henry departs.


 * According to an interview with Lana, it's been "seven years" (for Regina, who is "older, even though she doesn't look it") at the time of the "rescue" of Henry, making her 49.


 * There's an undisclosed time gap here of more than a decade (as Henry has to get with Cinderella, get her pregnant, add the nine months pregnancy, birth and Lucy being 10 when Henry vanishes and presumably before the curse is cast) meaning Regina is, at minimum, 59 years old when the curse is cast, possibly closer to 69 if about two decades pass in the New Enchanted Forest (it took Snow and Charming about 5 years approx to defeat Regina in the original EF, so not too much of a stretch for another couple of years, adding the 10 when Lucy is growing up).

This age is far too old. Margot is currently 25-27 and Zelena is a few years older than Regina which does not even fit into your timeline. A decade younger works because the first part of your timeline works. It’s confirmed that it should be 36-ish years since the casting of the curse do to Henry’s graduation meaning yay JMo is the age of Emma now. Regina is biologically several years older so more than 36/37 and less than 45. Then a few years pass and Henry recasts putting Regina a bit more than 45 likely now, then like a decade passes putting Regina in her mid to late fifties right now.
 * Add in another 6 months (nothing in Hyperion Heights says that Lucy and the others have not been aging. No-one says anything about it), meaning Regina is approximately, biologically, 70 at this point though she doesn't look it.

This puts Henry in his early 30s, Jace similar and Lucy at eleven due to three birthday candles as the curse broke. Margot has clearly spent some time in a realm where she aged faster as has Alice but they are in their late twenties, Margot likely at 28 and Tilly close to that. Tiana/Sabine is around Henry/Jace’s age while Nook is likely in his early fifties, but possibly mid-forties depending on if he can actually age in his new form, and at 2018 Hook would be about forty. Kelly is likely in the late fifties early sixties and Chad is likely that age, maybe a bit younger but not too much. Ivy is likely in her mid to late twenties while Ana seems to be a few years older than Lucy. Biologically Rumple was still in his early fifties and is also by now has almost lived 250 years. Gothel could be millennia old as is Seraphina though they both look in their twenties in human biology due to magic. This also makes Merlin the third oldest person in the realms at his death. Figuring out Snow and david is impossible and so I won’t even try.
