Susannah Maxwell should be included on the list of Canadian supercentenarians, since there are no real primary sources to validate her lifespan. However, the GRG director did say that while Maxwell was probably younger than she was claimed to be, "this case is still of interest from an 'oral history' perspective" and that it has relevance as being "an example of extreme longevity media reporting in the 1920s" and said that claims of extremely long lives can be traced back to the 1840s. He suggested that an article about Susannah Maxwell could be added to the Gerontology Wiki (
660:), they did reluctantly allow Facebook postings as a source of information under certain circumstances. I do believe this qualifies (corporate account, neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim, visual support, no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity). I did contact the local newspaper about Ada and they did verify that the 2016 article is the last that they published. Having pointed out that Ada may be the second or third oldest living British person may have piqued their interest. If nothing happens before her next birthday in November, I will contact them again and remind them about Ada's 113th birthday. Thanks, Ralph (Toronto, Canada)

believe she must be validated. I have emailed someone at the
Gerontology Research Group, which verifies supercentenarian lifespans, to see what would be required to authenticate Susannah (Stokes) Maxwell, and therefore, if she should be added to the no. 1 spot on the list. Hopefully, I'll hear back from them soon, and I will let you know what they have to say about this.

Susannah (Stokes) Maxwell, and her allegedly living to 117. Once I hear back from him, I'll let you know what he has to say.

Hello I have never attempted to change anything on
Knowledge (XXG) until now. The longest marriage page is missing my wife's aunt and uncle, Louis and Grace Marine from Chino CA. They were born on Jan 15, 1942 and have been married 80 years and 290 days as of Nov 1, 2022. Here is a news article about

Hello. I got a response from the director of the

Hello. Since you are the most active editor of the article List of

I heard back from the GRG research director. He said that "the odds of this story being true are approximately 0%." There are some discrepancies in the sources that relate to

Hello Wiki O'Ryan. Since you do a lot of updating of the List of

Thanks for checking this out. It is just as well that I did not add her to the list as no.1, which would probably have led to confusion and started arguments. Perhaps she herself did not know how old she really was. As for the

Hello. Thank you for asking my opinion about this. I have looked into it, and based on the
Dictionary of Canadian Biography and on newspaper articles from 1923, I feel it is possible that the lifespan given for Susannah (Stokes) Maxwell is accurate. For you to be able to add her to the list, I

OK, thanks for taking care of this. The DCB article is based on a 1923 report of her death in the Globe (now the Globe and Mail), but I suppose we don't really know what evidence the Globe reporter had for her birthdate in 1805. I'll wait for the GRG to investigate further.
