A record?
« on: Sunday 24 January 16 13:23 GMT (UK) »
Have an elderly cousin now aged 84 - born 1931.

His father was 71 when he was born (mother 48!)

So his father was born in 1860 and his grandfather in 1819.

My 4th Great Grandfather married for the second time at 68 to a woman aged 38 and had two further children. He outlived her as well!

I thought that my husband having an Aunt only 1 year older than him was odd enough. The 39 census revealed some further skeletons re what his Gdad was up to.
