Turning 115:009, Ethel Caterham has surpassed Annie Jennings' age and becomes 2nd-oldest British person ever.

After Charlotte Kretschmann's death, Marita Camacho Quiros enters the Top 20 of oldest living people. At the age of 113:172 she is the 3rd-oldest ever person notable for reasons other than longevity, behind only paediatrician and co-developer of the pertussis vaccine Leila Denmark (114:060) and oil painter Hatsuno Goto (113:256). Goto's notability for reasons other than longevity is questionable as her notability is partly connected to age and not so important (becoming an oil painter as an elderly woman).

Current TOP 10 1)Tomiko Itooka 116:099 2) Inah Canabarro Lucas 116:082 3) Elizabeth Francis 115:035 4) Ethel Caterham 115:008 5) Okagi Hayashi 114:363 6) Marie-Rose Tessier 114:101 7) Silveria Martín Díaz 114:071 8) Mine Kondō 113:364 9) Naomi Whitehead 113:338 10) Claudia Baccarini 113:322 RIP Charlotte Kretschmann. Claudia Baccarini enters the Top 10. She is the oldest person living in Italy and the 8th-oldest person from Italy ever. Oldest person to live in Italy since 2019 (Maria Giuseppa Robucci). Interestingly, the 11th-oldest person living is also from Italy (Laurina Sangenito).

Ethel Caterham (1909-) has reached the age of 41,998 days surpassing the age (41,997 days) of the previous 3rd-oldest person from the UK, Eva Morris (1885-2000) She is the first British person in the 21st century to achieve an age of 41,998+ days.

Ethel Caterham surpassed Anna Eliza Williams' age so she is now in the top 5 oldest people from the UK ever. She also entered the Top 100 oldest women ever.

Ina Okazawa turns 114 so the Top 10 has now again only 114+-year-olds. Marita Camacho Quiros first lady of Costa Rica and oldest person known for reasons other than longevity turns 113

Maria on her 117th birthday

Nearly 3 years later, Maria is still alive and has celebrated her 117th birthday. Out of these 20 110-year-olds 3 died aged 110 (Herbert Engel, Hide Morokuma, Sally Ellis) 10 died aged 111 (Miriam Moore, Rosalie Esposito, Kameo Oya, Thelma McLeod, Christine Hoscheid?, Lillian Cox, Rosena Harkenson, Anna Medwenitch, Helen Turner, Merle Phillips) 3 died aged 112 (Masae Uchiyama, Marguerite Bailly, Icie Clark) 2 died aged 113 (Sumie Yabune, Tame Yamaguchi) 1 died aged 114 (Ellen Goodwill) 1 is still living aged 117 (Maria Branyas Morera)

Maria Branyas Morera turns 117 today, the 12th person to reach this age.

Most likely we will have again a Japanese WOLP. After Ceccarelli's death and Itooka becoming world's 2nd oldest person there is now a very strong possibility for her to become WOLP since Maria is already nearly 117 and recent posts in her social media point to a worsening health. Concerning Kame Uema if she gets validated it would mean we still have a Top 10 full of 114+-year-olds.

Current TOP 10 1) Maria Branyas Morera 116:356 2) Tomiko Itooka 115:276 3) Inah Canabarro Luca 115:260 4) Juan Vicente Perez Mora114:272 5) Elizabeth Francis 114:213 6) Ethel Caterham 114:186 7) Okagi Hayashi 114:174 8) Masa Matsumoto 114:086 9) Charlotte Kretschman 114:082 10) Ina Okazawa 113:350 Ina Okazawa entered the Top 10 after Edie Ceccarelli's death. She is the Oldest Living Person in Ibaraki Prefecture. Nothing is known about her and there are no public photos. Even her name and birthdate were discovered only after Seki Yoshida's death (former oldest living in Ibaraki) and she was validated shortly after.

RIP Edie Ceccarelli. Unexpected news, as she seemed to be in good shape in her birthday. New OLP in the USA is Elizabeth Francis of Texas.

The anonymous woman from the USA born on 31/07/1910 has reportedly died on 24/01/2024. This means that Naomi Whitehead is the last living American born in 1910. If Naomi Whitehead fails to reach her 114th birthday this September, then 1910 will be the first year since 1886 not to produce a 114-year-old from the USA.

Longeviquest visited Inah Canabarro Lucas. She remains in good condition. https://longeviquest.com/2024/02/longeviquest-visits-oldest-living-person-in-brazil-also-the-oldest-living-nun-at-115/

Ina Okazawa (born 10 March 1910) has been validated by Longeviquest. She has become the 11th oldest validated person in the world, 4th oldest validated in Japan, and oldest in Ibaraki Prefecture, after the death of Seki Yoshida. Ina was previously unknown.
