Several of my Suffolk ancestors allegedly broke the 100 year barrier. One, Elizabeth Packard, died in 1842 aged 102, her maiden name was Martin or Markin, and I found a baptism in 1744 which may be her, thus making her only 98 at the time she died.
I have another ancestor Anne Howard, previously Teager, unknown maiden surname, who died in 1827, and was said to be aged 101, she had her first child in 1752. As said I am not sure of her maiden name but she supposedly wed Edward Teager in about 1750 in the Framlingham/Peasenhall area of Suffolk. Edward died in 1758 and she remarried 9 years later, and likely had more children up to about 1774.
I have one who died in Norwich in 1828 said to be 97. Elizabeth Helsdon, nee Harbord/Herbert. I found through other records (a poor law record and mention in a family friend's will) that she was the daughter of Benjamin and Mary Harbord. I did find an Elizabeth Halbert baptised in 1728 in Norwich, child of Benjamin and Mary. My Eliz wed in 1752 and had children up to 1773.
