[edit] A contradiction

Charlotte Marion Milburn Hughes (August 1, 1877 - March 17, 1993) is the longest-lived person ever documented in the United Kingdom, despite legendary claims such as that of Thomas Parr. She was a schoolteacher, but retired and married over fifty years before her death when she was 63. Her husband died in 1980, aged 103.

This appears to mean that she died when she was 63, with her husband living to 103. It also seems to say that she died when she was nearly 116. Which is correct? Simply south 20:33, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Well spotted: it should read as She was a schoolteacher, but retired and married when she was 63, over fifty years before her death (she died at 115 1/2). Extremely sexy 20:45, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

OK, that looks better and clearer now. Simply south 20:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

It's my pleasure though. Extremely sexy 21:49, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
