My g grandparents born between 1882-1902 (20 years)
My gg grandparents born between 1832 and 1883 (51 years)
My ggg grandparents born between 1800 and 1863 (63 years)

Lots of gaps with the gggg grandparents but from the ones I know about around 1765-1837 (around 72 years).

Big gap starts as one gg grandfather being 50 when his wife (16 years his junior) gave birth to my g grandfather born in 1882 and a different gg grandmother, who married at 17, gave birth to my g grandmother at 18 in 1901.

The generations in my family are all jumbled up, with a parent and grandparents of similar age, a half-sister close to my mother's age to name just a couple.

My grandparents were all born between 1836 and 1881 a spread of 55 years.
My paternal grandfather born 1836, died 1893, forty-nine  years before I was born when my father was fifty-six.

I have found so far:

G-Grandparents: 1881-1898 (17 yrs)
GG-Grandparents: 1848-1876 (28 yrs)
GGG-Grandparents: 1807-1847 (40 yrs)
GGGG-Grandparents: 1771-1818 (47 yrs)

Have a few past this but not really enough for a good comparison, its interesting to see that the eldest ancestor could be the parent or even grandparent of the youngest!

It turns out my GGGG Grandfather was older than I thought - born 1753, aged 49 at his (second) marriage.  Now, does anyone want to look for a John Smith born 1753 not in Lincolnshire? :( :P
