Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Do you have / have you had any Centenarians in your family?

No. But my great grandma died aged 99 and my neighbour is 102 and still going strong.

My granny would have been 116 this year.
That does not count.

My Gran put her longevity down to eating a bowl of bran each day and regularly playing golf until she was 85

Next month, hopefully, but its not a blood relative - my great grandfather's third wife (I'm descended from the second) will be 100. Her sister is 101. The other two sisters died in their late 70s and late 80s respectively, both from smoking related cancers so they got fairly lengthy innings under those circumstances.
His first wife died in 1917 or 1918 from memory so there's some major timespan covered by them

Lost my 95 year old Nan in August, still had all her marbles and was living in her own (council) flat right up to two days before the end - and then the council gave us 1 week to clear it out

Lost my 93yo Gran back in September. She made it to the same age as Grandad. So nervous nineties.
They did get a telegram from the Queen for their Diamond Wedding Anniversary, which in someways has got to be a more impressive achievement I would think.

An aunt of my father's reached the age of 104.
She was born in summer 1900 so lived in 3 centuries: the 19th (well, she was conceived in it, or born in it if centuries start with '1'), the 20th and the 21st, beat that!
