Longest Life
A bit of a distant relationship, my grandfather's brother's daughter, which makes her my mum's second cousin was born in the last quarter of 1908, means she will be 100 at the end of this year. I wrote to her last June to let her know my mum had died and she wrote back a lovely letter, apologising for the bad writing because of her age (it was beautiful writing, not like that of an old lady at all), but I hadn't realised how old she was.
I don't want to give her name as she is still alive, well I think she is, certainly her niece who copied a couple of photographs for me, hasn't written to let me know otherwise.
However, I can beat your Longest Life and Longest Marriage with my own parents, but couldn't work out how to cut and paste onto your list. So I'll just quote.
Longest Life

My apologies Nick, the Markey children are only half-siblings - from 3 different wives.
I will edit the list as people submit records.

I'm amending this post - it does not alter the important content but I am removing a childish and insulting comment I made against nickgc. I apologise to nickgc. Dave

Joseph ILEY and Ellen BILTON in my tree and they had twenty-two, all of their own! Ellen was pregnant more or less constantly for twenty-six years between 1874 and 1901. At least thirteen of the children lived into adult life. She lived to seventy-eight, so was obviously one very strong woman.
