One private genealogist I once knew said a woman could have a baby at 60. Without IVF that is very unlikely.

I think the Guinness Book of records has the oldest mother for a naturally conceived child as 55.
I remember passing that age and breathing a sigh of relief - no more children or if there were, I would be a celebrity!!!!!!!
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

I hope you got safely past 59 then, which is the current record.
