Does anyone (living) have a great grandparent born in the 18th century?

[Jebber]

A bit off topic, as there is no 18th century connection, but there are 131 years between me and my great-grandfather

There are 148 years between me and my great-grandmother.

My maternal great grandfather was born in 1845, married in 1874, died in 1921 all taking place in a small Lincolnshire village called Whaplode. Family records state that he never left the village and the surrounding farm land where he worked from the age of 10 or 11.

One of my paternal great grandfathers was born in 1838 in Longford.  He married twice, firstly in 1862 and secondly in 1889 and had 18 children in total.  Both of his wives hailed less than half a mile from his home.  My grandfather was part of his second family and was born in 1895.  The youngest of the 18 children was born in 1905.

It's fascinating to think he would have been alive during The Great Hunger (Famine) that happened in Ireland from 1845 to 1852.

If you had asked 5 years ago, before my dad died, he could have claimed a gt grandfather born in 1796.  As it is, he is my oldest gg grandparent.

My great-grandmother died in 2003, so she doesn't qualify, but if she were still alive, she would 'only' be 103. She had two sets of great-grandparents who were born in the 1790s.

On her father's side:
Robert Feaviour born 1792 in Mendham, Suffolk.
Harriet Buckingham born 1791 in Mendham, Suffolk.

On her mother's side:
John Bunning born 1797 in Ashwicken, Norfolk.
Rebecca Harrison born 1797 in East Winch, Norfolk.

Her father and mother were both the youngest children of their families, born when their fathers were in their 50s.

All my maternal  3rd g grandparents were born in the 1700's

[Roger Plenty]

Yes, I do. My father, Joseph Plenty was born in 1900 (last of 16). His father, John Tiley Plenty, was born in 1842, and his father, Samuel, my great grandfather, was born in 1797

That's impressive.  The best I can do is :

gg-grandfather, 1804
g-grandfather, 1833
grandmother, 1881
father, 1922
me, 1947

I recently discovered a line in my family, a relative married a man 42 years her senior and they had a long wait until their first child arrived in the 1950's, so a good chance that individual is still alive (he/she was alive in the early 2000's).  The elderly father was born in the 1870's and his grandfather was born in 1801 so very close!
