Revision as of 20:53, 30 December 2007
This is an incomplete list of British supercentenarians (people who have attained the age of at least 110 years 0 days), ordered by date of birth.
People
Margaret Ann Neve
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Margaret_Neve_110.jpg/220px-Margaret_Neve_110.jpg)
Margaret Ann Harvey Neve (18 May 1792 – 4 April 1903) of Guernsey was the first recorded female supercentenarian, and the first of either gender in the 20th century. She was the oldest person in the world at the time of her death (aged 110 years and 321 days) and also the oldest person ever at that point in time, if the disputed case of Thomas Peters is discounted. Either way, she was surpassed by Louisa Thiers in 1925, but she is still the only ever supercentenarian from the Channel Islands and one of the few recorded persons who lived in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
John Mosely Turner
John Mosely Turner (June 15, 1856 – March 21, 1968) from Mitcham in the UK was a supercentenarian and the world's oldest person for the last two years of his life. He was first listed in the 1964 edition of the Guinness Book of Records as Britain's oldest man, and was in fact the oldest man in the world. He surpassed Geert Adriaans Boomgaard and Demetrius Philipovitch in 1967, and the disputed case of James Henry Brett, Jr. in 1968, to become the oldest man ever, unless Thomas Peters is considered validated. Turner's record was allegedly broken by Shigechiyo Izumi in 1977 and Mathew Beard in 1982, but these cases are also considered circumspect, and so it may have been Alphaeus Philemon Cole who surpassed him, as late as 1988.
Hannah Smith
Hannah Smith (Salford, England, January 7, 1856 - Sheffield, England, January 10, 1966) was a British supercentenarian and oldest recognised living person in the world when she died at 110 years and 3 days. She was listed in the 1967 Guinness Book of Records.
Ada Roe
Ada Giddings Roe (Islington, England, February 6, 1858 - Lowestoft, England, January 11, 1970) was a British supercentenarian and the oldest recognized living person in the world between around October 1968 and her death aged almost 112. She was the last documented person born in the 1850s.
Alice Stevenson
Alice Stevenson (Piccadilly, England, July 10, 1861 - Sutton, England, August 18, 1973) was a British supercentenarian. She was the oldest recognised living person in the world between February 27, 1973 and her death, aged 112 years and 39 days.
Frederick Butterfield
Frederick Butterfield (28 February, 1864 – 9 March, 1974) of Harrogate, England became the world's oldest man on 5 May, 1973.[citation needed] He was followed by Shigechiyo Izumi, but unlike his successor, his age is not open to doubt.[citation needed][original research?] He retired from Pharmacy at the age of 99, according to the 1974 Guinness Book of Records.
Jeanetta Jane Thomas
Jeanetta Jane Thomas (December 2 1869 - January 5 1982) of Llantrisant, Wales, was a British Supercentenarian. She was mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records in the 1980s. Had she lived another six days, she would have broken the UK longevity record which at that time was held by Alice Stevenson. From October 20 1980 to her death in an old people's home at Cowbridge, Wales, aged 112 years and 34 days, Thomas was the oldest person in the United Kingdom. A photograph taken the day before her 112th birthday appeared in The Times. Thomas was also the last person in the UK to have been born in the 1860s.
Anna Eliza Williams
Anna Eliza Williams (nee Davies) (2 June 1873 – 27 December 1987) was a supercentenarian. She was born in Gloucestershire, England and died in Swansea, Wales, aged 114, where she moved after her marriage. She broke the UK longevity record on July 12 1985. She was listed in the Guinness Book of Records in the 1980's and early 1990's. Her age was provably surpassed in 1989 by Jeanne Calment. Her United Kingdom record of 114 years and 208 days was broken by Charlotte Hughes in 1992, who still holds that record to this day.
Kate Begbie
Kate Begbie (January 9, 1877 - September 5, 1988) of Scotland was the oldest person in the United Kingdom until her death at 111 years and 240 days.
Charlotte Hughes
Charlotte Marion Hughes (nee Milburn) (1 August 1877[1] – 17 March 1993[citation needed]) is the longest-lived person ever documented in the United Kingdom, despite legendary claims such as that of Thomas Parr.[citation needed] She was a schoolteacher. She married in 1940 when she was 63. Her husband, Noel, died in 1980, aged 103, after 40 years of marriage.[1]
She remained in robust health into extreme old age and achieved public recognition for her longevity, including tea with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, in 1985, whom she jokingly admonished against cuddling up to her, as Hughes was a Labour supporter. Thatcher replied to this "Never mind, let's have a cup of tea". However, Hughes admitted to personally liking Thatcher, and described the Prime Minister as "A very nice woman". On her 110th birthday, she flew on the Concorde to New York, one of only two supercentenarian air passengers ever recorded.[1]. She stayed there for four days on an all-expenses paid visit.
She became the oldest person in the United Kingdom when Scotland's Kate Begbie died in 1988, and broke the national longevity record, held until then by Anna Eliza Williams, in early 1992.[citation needed] Several British women including Eva Morris (who died at almost 115), the only British world's-oldest since Williams, have reached 114 since, and one, Annie Jennings (1884-1999), barely reached 115, but the record set by Hughes still stands. Hughes lived in her own home until 1991, when she moved to a nursing home due to becoming too frail to look after herself. She also spent her final years in a wheelchair, though she remained mentally alert and sharp to the end of her life.
John Evans
John Evans (August 19, 1877 - June 10, 1990) is the longest-lived man ever authenticated in the United Kingdom.
He had been a Welsh miner, and became the oldest man in the United Kingdom ever when he broke the record of England's John Mosely Turner. In March 1986, at the grand old age of 108, Evans was fitted with a pacemaker, to which he made a remarkably quick recovery. When asked by interviewers for the secret of his long life, he replied, "No smoking, no drinking and no cursing". On his 110th birthday, he visited London for the first time in his life.
The United Kingdom male longevity record set by John Evans, who died at 112 years and 295 days old, still stands. He is recognized as the world's oldest man from November 25, 1988 until his passing. Guinness had recognized Evans as the "world's oldest man" in 1989, but let the title lapse after his passing, only to bring it back in 2000.
Daisy Adams
Daisy Adams (Nee Woodward) for nine months was the oldest person in the United Kingdom, between March 18, 1993 and December 8 1993. She was from Church Gresley, Derbyshire and was born on June 30 1880. She died at the age of 113 years and 161 days and outlived her husband and her five children.
Rebecca Hewison
Rebecca Hewison (Nee Ramsdale) was born in Grimsby on October 19 1881 and died on September 22 1994, aged 112 years and 338 days. In 1990 she met the Queen Mother and was a supporter of Grimsby Town football club.
Lucy Askew
Lucy Jane Askew (8 September 1883 – 9 December 1997) was an English supercentenarian and the oldest in her country at the time of her death at the age of 114 years and 92 days. Askew was born and died in Loughton. She had five other siblings, all of whom she outlived, though three of them also lived past 100. Askew was always in good health, and only moved into a nursing home when she was 106. She even sailed through a leg operation at 108, and was the last person documented to have been born in 1883.[2]
Annie Jennings
Annie Thomas Jennings (12 November 1884 – 20 November 1999) was a supercentenarian from the UK and the world's second-oldest person, after American Sarah Knauss, at her death aged 115. She became the oldest person in the UK following the passing of Lucy Jane Askew in 1997. Jennings held the title for about two years and was succeeded as the oldest person in the UK by Eva Morris. A Teacher who never married, she is second only to Charlotte Hughes on the UK's all time list, and 23rd in the world of the oldest ever. She apparently disliked being listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
She was the last surviving person documented as born in 1884.
Eva Morris
