Oldest person found in a census?

Thanks Paul,
 yes that's the one

There is a Duncan Munro aged 105 on the 1841 census in Argyll, Scotland. Although I have him at 103 going by his parish baptism record of 1738.

I did find a 99 year old man in the 1850 US census born c1751 in England.

I did mention my 102 year old ancestor in 1841 Suffolk but as yet have not found a baptism to properly verify she was 102, as we all know how ages recorded could differ to their actual ages.

There are several transcription errors on FamilySearch where families seem to have centenarian children!

I wonder how accurate the age is for this lady:
record identifier: GBC/1911/RG14/18370/0017/7
Aston Union Workhouse, Erdington, Warwickshire
Sarah CHAPMAN, 110, widow, formerly a laundress, born Coventry.

My Ayres and Cornwell ancestors are renowned for their longevity. My great grandmother Emily Cornwell aunt of WW1hero Jack Cornwell VC was 91 at her death in 1941.My mother Emily Ayres(1903-2003) was 99 years and 14 weeks in January 2003. Her older sister Winifred (1898-1997) died 3 weeks before her 99th birthday, but to my knowledge no one has yet reached 100. Two of my cousins both in late 80s may be the first.

My 8x Great Grandmother survived until she was 105 years old. She was born in 1746 and in the 1850 census before she passed away the next year she was 104 years old. I think she is the oldest ancestor I have.

I have a group picture of 3 of my great aunts taken 1990 - total age at time of photo 297 years.

The eldest lived to be 108 - next to be 105 and the youngest died aged 99. 

(My grandfather was a mere youngster of 90 when he died!)

Sadly one of my surviving quoted above as "in his late 80s' passed away in March at  the age of 92 years and 26 days. My other cousin is now 90, I am 82 and my brother  77.

I have a family friend who thought it was wonderful that she was showing on the 1921 census and the 1939 National Register. She’s now 102.
