The 1886 thing is right from canon, but, it doesn't fit with actual history in terms of how long it would have taken Helen to qualify as a doctor and how long they'd been at Oxford, given when some of the colleges there first started to allow women to audit courses. I thought you should be aware of that, just in case. But I'd go with 35-ish, too.
If you watch the theme song veeeeery closely, I think her degree actually says that it was issued in 1921. Which means it took her about forty years to qualify to graduate. So I figure that she was there with the rest of the Five, listening in on their classes without actually attending, and didn't get her degree until much later.

JAMES: You haven't changed a bit.
HELEN: Since last Fall in London?
JAMES: No, since Spring of 1886.
