The Lighter Side / Re: Finding fathers of illegitimate ancestors?

My g.gran had her last child when she was over 50, he was the 3rd child of her 2nd partner my g.grandfather. The baby couldn't have been the child of her older daughters (from her first marriage), as they were both pregnant themselves at the time. My gran was only 9 at the time so not old enough to be a mother. According to family legend, g.gran was in the local papers as being the oldest mother in Hull, although I've not found anything so far.
Today there was news that Cameron Diaz has just had a baby at 51, her previous child being born 4 years ago, Victoria Coren Mitchell also had a baby last year when she was 51, so definitely not impossible now, even if IVF was used and certainly not impossible when my g.gran had her last child in 1893.
