I don't know about oldest living at the present, but my great, great grandmother's married name was Jane "Jenny" Stretch and she was born in Ireland in 1793 and died in Nova Scotia, Canada on June 14 1902 at 108 years young.
I know, I know, technically she was not a Stretch, but I am not sure what her maiden name was, maybe Green or Greene.She may have been born in Donegal, Ireland.
Just thought someone might know something more about her and who her husband may have been.Her sons were named: Alexander, James and William, so her husband could have had one of those names.Her only known daughter was Elizabeth who married David Bambrick and was my great grandmother on August 5, 1851 in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Son James changed the spelling of the name to Streatch and son William went to first Iowa and then Kansas in the US and he changed the spelling to Stratch.Doesn't that make for a lot of confusion?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
