I see that the deaths include: " At Sanquhar, at the advanced age of 102 years, William MARSHALL, tinker.-His father, also named William, lived to the extraordinary age of 121, and was long at the head of a desperate gang of gypsies, who infested Galloway and the neighbouring counties for a great number of years." If the age for father, William, is correct he would be the oldest person ever to have lived in UK. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_supercentenarians David Railton
