Were your grandparents born in Victorian times?

[Gone.]

Having read a few posts in the WW1 forum about grandparents who fought in WW1 (who, leaving aside underage recruits, would have been born in Victorian Times) I wondered how far back into the Victorian era any of us could go with the birth of a grandparent.

To start the ball rolling (hopefully, a big ball), one of my grandparents was born in 1869.

1875 & 1876 on the paternal side (they married aged 18 & 19) and 1863 & 1869 on the maternal side.  Neither grandfathers fought in WW1, both being in poor health and a bit too old (39 & 51 in 1914.), though my maternal grandfather became a Special Police Constable during that war

My paternal grandparents were born
G.pa - 1871
G.ma - 1876
G.pa died in 1915 so never fought in WW1

Maternal grandparents
G.pa - 1887
G.ma - 1886
G.pa was a welder in the ship yards and didn't fight guess his was a reserved profession. Although all his brothers were in the same trade and two of them went off to fight, but were quite bit younger than him

Not me, but my husband's grandmother is living and her oldest grandparent was born 1847.  He died a year before she was born.

My maternal grandparents were born in 1893 and 1896.  My paternal grandparents weren't born until 1905 so late compared to other posters.  My mum's earliest born grandparent was born in 1849.

My dads earliest grandparents were born in 1833 & 1838.
