The oldest person in the UK, Grace Jones, has died at the age of 113, her MP Simon Hughes has confirmed.

The Londoner, born on 7 December 1899, was the last living British person to be born in the 1800s.

R.I.P. Grace <3

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

I've got one here who is still waiting to be the oldest in the village.

The bloke who is the oldest never seems to go out now. Too scared!
