Maternal grandmother lived to 95 - b 1884 - d 1983
Paternal grandmother lived to 98 - b 1868 - d 1966
Paternal Aunt (above grandmother's daughter) lived to 102 - b  1888 - 1990

My sister and I look like our paternal aunt ............. one can only hope

Odd that men don't do so well (apart from wars, accidents, etc)

Elizabeth Packard nee Martin died 1842 aged 102. Death cert states that and in 1841 she was 101. A newspaper record says she was 102 when she died. She did marry in 1763 in Glemham. She died in Marlesford. I still cannot find her baptism to prove she was 102 as there was a few Elizabeth martins born 1738-1744 in Suffolk.
