    She was the last person who lived in the 1800s, but the 19th Century didn't end until 31st December 1900. There could be some 116 year old around who lived in the 19th Century!

    No thanks.
    Imagine living so long without your closest friends. Unable to enjoy life's simple pleasures.
    Being house bound for so long, being bed bound.
    Thanks, but no thanks.

    Can I put for the quick death at 80 please

    No bother.

    1. On what date will you reach 80 years of age?
    2. What method of death do you prefer?
    3. How much am I getting paid? 50% deposit up front, please.

    :D

    You know as well as I do that 1900 is considered the 20th Century, illogical and all as it seems.

    I don't consider it the 19th Century and neither does any right-thinking person I know.

    Come back when you're 79 and see if you're still want to stick to that.

    I went thru a phase of looking in to my family history some years ago, doing the family tree and all that. And once you get thru figuring out who was who etc, you want to look at the stories of the people in the tree.
    It would have been fantastic to have on of my great grandparents generation still alive. They were all born within 5 years of this woman.

    The stories she must have known, the changes she has seen. And she seemed to be great fun too.

    The worlds population went up from 1.6 billion to 7.5 billion during her lifetime.

    Most of those 1.6 were substance farmers and almost everything was recycled out of necessity. Nowadays the average carbon footprint is a bit higher and most people have mobile phones.
