List of the oldest women

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The oldest woman whose age has been scientifically verified is the French Jeanne Calment , who died at the age of 122 years and 164 days. The oldest living woman is the Japanese Kane Tanaka , born on January 2, 1903. The following lists correspond to the current state of research and therefore do not claim to be conclusive. Living women are highlighted in pink .

On this page only women are listed whose life data has been scientifically proven and has been published by an appropriate institution; a mere mention in mass media is not enough.

List of the 100 oldest women

The placement is determined first by the age reached in years and days, then the number of days of life and finally the earlier age.

attachment

The appendix lists those persons who were once accepted by various institutions as the oldest women with the specified dates of birth, but whose correctness was substantially questioned during a later review, but without positive evidence of the actual date of birth could be provided. Since they would not find recognition according to the current standards of age verification, they are listed here separately from the oldest women with proven age, as long as the alleged age would be sufficient for inclusion in the list of the 100 oldest women or until positive evidence for this or another date of birth is published, or the cases have been devalidated.

Lucy Hannah July 16, 1875? March 21, 1993 117 years and 248 days? 42,982? United StatesUnited States United States
  1. The African American Hannah is listed in the Social Security Death Index [1] and in the Michigan Death Index [2] with a date of birth July 16, 1874 and was in the early 2000s by the Kestenbaum study of the Social Security Administration with a date of birth July 16 Verified in 1875, apparently using this data set from the 1880 US census from Linden , Marengo , Alabama . This verification by Kestenbaum was based on simpler test standards than those applied by today's leading Gerontology Research Group for age verifications - especially for such exceptional age claims. There is no information about Lucy Hannah from newspaper reports, no death report in a newspaper; not even a tombstone is known. The lack of such information about their lives has made it difficult or impossible to confirm or disprove this case. In 2015, the SSA also made the personal data of the deceased publicly available when they submitted their application for social benefit: in this case, the important details of the parents' maiden names - Sol Terrell and Sallie Edwards - and the place of birth Tallassee , Elmore , Alabama. That in turn made it possible to re-examine the case. It turned out that the woman was married twice. The alleged birthday of July 16 is shaken by the dates of her second marriage in October 1943 to Detroit-born Fred Hannah. Lucy's parents are also named in it. It is his birthday, which he also stated in his military registrations for the First World War and the Second World War before his marriage to Lucy . Her birthday is noted on August 12th and is of the same age as Fred, who was probably born in 1895. She is not included in the 1880 census of her parents in Tallassee . Her paternal grandparents were named Robert and Martha ( 1870 and 1880 census ), so that the grandparents in the original 1880 census entry from Linden, Alabama clearly do not belong to the woman who died in Detroit in 1993. The doubtfulness of the Lucy Hannah case can be read in detail and with further family details here: https://the110club.com/lucy-hannah-census-entries-t11475.html
