Nancy Wiltshire

Nancy-Ann Josephine Wiltshire (June 22– c. June 1984), was a British longevity claimant. In December 2001, The Gerontology Research Group affirmed on their site that Nancy died at the age of 119. In 2008, her longevity claim was dismissed, after DNA revealed that Wiltshire was born in 1879.
