Elizabeth Bolden

Elizabeth Bolden - 116 years, 118 days, United States
Elizabeth Bolden appears on all the released census returns from 1900 to 1940. In the 1900 census in Tennessee she is Lizzie Jones, born August 1890 and age 9. She has a younger sister Josie born in 1896. By 1910 she is married at 19 years with an infant child. From 1920 to 1940 her age is recorded as 26, 37 and 44. There is no earlier birth date record.

Her validators admit she could be a year younger than assumed [36,48]. Because of age inconsistency in later census returns and the possibility of age exaggeration and even a sibling swap for an early marriage we allow for a larger uncertainty of four years.
