Only that she travelled from then, not that she was born then. Marty McFly travelled from 1985, but was clearly born in the '60s, so the year he might say he came from (similarly technically true, whether telling people in 1955, 2015, 1885 or just in 1986, a year after he started going to eras and returning from them) isn't necessarily and indication of his birth-year. Assuming he even has a birth-year in any given timeline...
We can be (time-machines aside) sure that she was born no later than then (...or then plus nine months, perhaps?). With time-machines, all bets are off! 172.70.86.61 19:19, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
