Having said earlier that I haven't any branches with real longevity with the ladies of the last 2 generations making it into their 90s as the best it gets, I've since been really impressed to have discovered my 6xgreat grandfather, Richard Woodburn.
Richard was born c. 1718 and baptised in the village church in Overton in December that year.   He was buried in the churchyard of the same church on 12 August 1809, making him definitely over 90 and as the burial record lists him as 93, he may have been born as early as 1716.
Not bad for a working man in an isolated area of Lancashire in the 18th century.

One of my ancestors called Anne Elvidge was born about 1704 (no baptism unfortunately), but she married in 1736 with age 33 recorded. She died on 11 Jan 1800, age 95 according to the parish register - though she was simply referred to as Widow Fricknall. When I first found it I was pleased that she made it to see the first few days of a new century!

Others include my Nan's cousin "Nin" who died in 2004 age 101 years 5 months. I also have a great great aunt who is 99 and still going strong.

William Mead 1504-1652 aged 148. Hope it was true, but I have 2 observations: 1) It is well known that through old age people tend to advance their ages more rapidly than the calendar specially when they didn't know their age precisely in the first place. 2) Is this a case of 2 generations getting merged into one?
It would be amazing though if it could be proved true!

Long liverd though William almost certainly was, he did not achieve the ultimate and live in three centuries, as very few have. The WW1 veterans who died in the last few years had achieved this milestone with their lives from the late 1890s to 2000+. Those of us who have lived in two centuries are 10 a penny, even 2 of my great nephews have done this born in the last decade of the 20th century. My grand daughter will have longer to wait, she was born in 2007!
