Who are our youngest or oldest members?

Sometimes a comment or memory will make me think that a member is older or indeed younger than I might have expected.
A recent reference to school trips in the 1930's had me trying to work out the maths. smile
How would you feel about revealing your age? I am prepared to be impressed, especially as so many members seem to be so active and involved in many things.

Margsus, back in 1982 when my son was born I was called an elderly primigravida also , aged 25
In 1991 when I had the last child I was one of the youngest at 35

63 last December had children 25,27,29. Middle child made me a granny at 46

I'm also 67. Married at 29, had first son at 33 and second son at 36. In those days that was considered a ripe old age for giving birth, in fact on my hospital notes I was described as an "elderly primagravida" !!!! I became a grandma at 65 and again at 66, and thankfully both my DH and I have no health problems so we're able to enjoy the grandchildren to the full. Long may it continue!

I am 71. I was married at 20 and my youngest child was 45 yesterday. I had to wait until 2006 for a grandchild.Still it was worth it.

I was also married at 20 first child 21 and first grandchild at 38 so lucky to have had most of my grands when I was young and energetic.

I have recently turned 68.

hildajenniJ Thu 17-Mar-16 12:56:42

I'm 64. First became a Granny at 55. Didn't marry until I was 30.

Indinana Thu 17-Mar-16 12:56:39

Well you're leading the field for our youngest member, Antjexix wink

I'm 65. Had my first child at 22, but didn't become a grandmother until I was nearly 56. I wish it had been earlier so that I could have enjoyed all my grandchildren while I was in better health, but that's not something we have control over!

annsixty Thu 17-Mar-16 12:49:20
