An ancestor died in 1842 aged 102. Elizabeth Packard nee Martin. She wed in 1763 to Joseph Packard. Although we have not been able to find her correct baptism yet. She was quite well documented when she died and was very respected. Someone has her born in 1744.

Husbands Aunt is just 21/2 weeks away from her 100th Birthday and 3 weeks after that date she is due to Ring the school Bell at Her Primary schools 150th Jubilee Lets hope she makes it

Margaret, that's lovely,   Please come back and tell us when she makes it!

For me, I'm not aware of anyone in any of my family lines that have made it to their century, but in the last couple of generations the ladies are making it into their 90s.    My mother died last year in her 95th year, my grandmother was 91, and her sister, my beloved and much missed Great Aunt Alice, made it to 96.

Personally I don't expect to emulate any of them - I've seen my pension forecast!

Scraping the mould off cheese was done as a matter of course. Believe many small grocers used to do this as a matter of course. It is a wonder we survived, or perhaps we are now often excessively hygenic?
