The people you personally knew who were born in the 1800s/19th Century
by Butterfield Sun May 21, 2023 1:32 pm
As far as I'm aware I only personally knew one person born in the 19th Century - she was an aunt of my grandmother, her mother's sister. She was born in 1898 and lived until the early 1990s when I was 11 or 12.
She lived in a dated bungalow with a scary cellar that we cleared out when she was moved into a care home as she had dementia in her last few years. We'd then visit her occasionally there.

I don't think I've ever known anyone who was born in the 19th Century. 
Maybe I will someday.

The oldest relative I met and remember was born in 1909.

This is going well. 
Ironically, as a perhaps a younger member of this forum I'm the only one to have personally known someone born in the 19th Century.
I knew someone else born in 1900 - I believe he was a distant relative. I think he was the first person who died that I knew, in about 1987. I can just about remember him wearing a hat. I really want to say these people's names as they were proper typically old fashioned but I don't want to give too much away.

The relative I mentioned, my grandad, also wore a hat in the early days of our acquaintance.
There is someone we visited when I was just a baby who may have been my mum's great-aunt, and would have been of 19th century vintage. But she might just have been mum's auntie, and as I say, I was too young to remember the occasion.
