Mercy Hinton - Mercy Greenman Cold Ashton

[Tavy]

Hi, It would seem that Mercy Hinton, born in Jun 1849 in Cold Ashton, Gloucestershire, England, married Greenman in 1871, had several children and lived to be 99years and six months, as she died in December 1948  in Wiltshire, Wilts, England. She was my great-great aunt and I am just amazed at anyone reaching that age at that time.

Can this be verified or do I have my dates wrong and how common/uncommon was centarians in those times.
thanks
Tavy
