some families just have spread out generations, too. my bio family has 5 generations in the same span my wife's has 4. i'm the second oldest of the grandchildren on my side of the family, my wife is the second youngest of the great-grandchildren on her side of the family.

Sure, but 5 generations isn't exactly an average situation. Maybe not even 4. So on average I still maintain my assumption that there are plenty of people here on Lemmy with grandmothers who were older than 15 during the early 40s. ✅

5 generations in 120 years is unusual?

7 would be unusual, 4-6 seems normal
