Saturday 08 Mar 1845 (p. 3, col. 1) A CENTENARIAN.-There is at present residing in the pleasant and healthy village Portinscale, near Keswick, a venerable dame who Sunday last completed the great age of one hundred years, mother of Mr. John RITCHARDSON, of that place. The respected female can read without the aid of spectacles, may frequently be seen tripping along with agility betokening scarcely half her years, and from present appearances may yet live to see many anniversaries of her birth. [She is in the 1841 census of Portinscale as Ann RICHARDSON, age 95, Independent, and living with John RICHARDSON, age 60.]
