Longest timespan of parent and child?

[rosie99]

153 years and onwards ...

My grandfather was born 17 February 1863, one of his children age 90 is still living.

His father was born c1818 (age 23 on 1841 census - baptised with the rest of his siblings in 1830) My grandfather was his youngest child.  That is around 198 years

My paternal grandfather was born in January 1836, so that is 180 years to date.

 Having been just given a clean bill of health at 74 and two weeks, so  I reckon I probably have a few years left in me yet.

My great-aunt died in 2006 and her grandfather (long-dead by the time she was born) was born around 1820.

My 3x great grandfather was born in 1807. He married at 19and had his first child when he was 20 (and my 2x great grandfather in 1830 when he was 22).

He went on to have 24 children with 2 wives - the last child born in 1882 when he was 75 and his second much younger wife was 42.

That last daughter lived to be 87, and died in 1970.

The father was born in 1807 and the daughter died in 1970. A span of 163 years.

According to family lore there was no doubt in the family that they were all his children.

My mother in law's cousin's husband was born in 1919, his father on Boxing Day 1869, so the span is presently 147+ years.

My great grandfather was born 1798; my grandfather 1828, my father 1899, me 1940, so that's 219 years and counting for 4 generations.My 2x great grandfather was born 1776, probably illegitimate, but I haven't yet managed to knock that brickwall down.
