(another)

Mrs. Ann Roberts, a native of a village a few miles from Holywell, North Wales, died lately at her daughter's residence, 3, Railway Cottages, Edgehill, Liverpool. The deceased was born in the year 1753 (being the 27th year of the reign of George II) and would have attained her 109th Birthday had she lived until August next. As a remarkable circumstance, in connextion with her life, her first and only child was not born until she had attained her 51st year, and the old lady retained the entire use of her mental faculties up to the period of her death.


(and I must say a very big Well Done Ann, what a grand lady!)

Wonder if it was her real age?

My goodness! That's a great age for the period. Mind you, with a large proportion of the population being illiterate and few written records, she may have forgotten exactly when she was born. :-D
