90. Or Huguenot, perhaps

Stigmatized by oppressive laws and facing severe persecution, many Huguenots (Protestants) fled France. In 1681, Charles II of England offered sanctuary to the Huguenots, and from 1670 to 1710, between 40,000 and 50,000 Huguenots from all walks of life sought refuge in England.

Or her family had been in England for 9000 years, perhaps:

The earliest complete skeleton found in Britain is dated to about 9000 years ago. It is the skeleton of a young man found in a cave in Cheddar, Somerset, England (and was thus dubbed, "Cheddar Man"). Testing of mtDNA extracted from a molar shows he is Haplogroup U5a. Twenty-eight living local residents of Cheddar were also tested, and two of them had the exact same mutations as Cheddar Man, while one other individual had a single additional mutation.
