Ikr, I always find it awesome. On my dad’s side my great grandmother was born in 1924, died in 2007 lovely lady! My great grandfather (her husband) at least according to his Wikipedia was born in 1916 and died in 1993 (I didn’t know him as he died 2 years before I was born hence why I never knew his DOB), their daughter my grandmother 1945, my great aunt 1949 (were a close family so great aunt is just “aunt”) I don’t know my grandfather as he rejected us out of racism (my mother is black, we “pass” for white but we are not, and he cut all ties when my dad refused to break up with my mother… then on my moms side my gran was 1938-2013, my grandfather was 1918-2001, the list goes on. I bet I even knew people who were born before 1900 when I was a child as my grandparents and great grandparents knew some ANCIENT people, even a couple of the older teachers in primary school had personal stories about the blitz one even brought in her gas mask. it’s crazy even to think I knew people, even in my own family who were born over a hundred years ago.
After doing a little research, it turns out that Violet, being a Southampton native, was married to a fellow Sotonian and Titanic survivor called Arthur Ernest Read Lewis, born 1884 and died 1973 (Violet was born in 1885 [Edit: I've found a page that says she was born on June 12, 1885] and, according to my sources, outlived him by around 9 years, so she died in 1982, only two years after this interview was filmed [Edit: this is confirmed by a page that says she died in August 1982, although another page says July 5, 1982]). Each page I've looked at says they had 5 sons, which matches what Roy says in this video. Their eldest born son, Archibald Albert Lewis, was born in July 1902 (when Violet was 17), followed by Stanley Claude in December 1909, so the great great grandmother in this video (born 1901) was most likely married to Archibald Albert (he died only a year before this interview in 1979, aged 77). Arthur was interviewed in the late 60s or early 70s for a documentary about the Titanic disaster along with other survivors. So not only was Violet a great great great grandmother, but she also started this lineage with a somewhat notable Titanic survivor. The reason why they were able to have six generations alive at the same time was because all five women were no older than 22 when they started having children.
I’m a geek too. Archibald A Lewis married Neiza Fanny P Farmer (the second woman shown) in 1922. He died in 1979 and she died in 1982 (same year as her mother in law). Edna Bastin died in 1998.
@@francofan100 Being a native of Southampton myself, I wanted to find out more after hearing them mention the city towards the end of the video, and I discovered quite quickly that Violet was married to a Titanic survivor. This little detail helped quite a lot in my research thanks to the information about Arthur and his family on Titanic-related websites as well as genealogical records.
@@bourbon2242 Going off on a bit of a tangent, I was in Southampton a few years ago and saw that they'd put up some sort of memorial to Millvina Dean, the youngest passenger on the Titanic and the last living survivor. She died in 2009 aged 97. And she was apparently a sixth cousin of my maternal grandmother. (Not that I ever met my maternal grandmother, let alone her sixth cousins!)
Same, this is years before my existence and this woman was born the year my ancestors came to America. Though to be fair, to my 6yr-old students I'm as old as this granny and they refer to my 90s childhood as the late 1900s
Always loved watching Roy Castle, when I was a kid. Still feel sad about his death, but at least we still have great moments like this, to remember him. I bet he rehearsed this a few times.
I met briefly Roy just before he passed away, he was a true gent even though he was suffering. He gave me a thumbs up when I turned back to look at him after walking away. I also worked with a lovely lady who travelled the country with him performing on stage during the 60s and 70s. She told some stories of how nice he was.
He was wonderful. It was his working in smoky jazz clubs in his younger days that caused his lung cancer; he never smoked himself. He brought attention to many in the UK to the dangers of passive smoking.
I'm happy to be corrected here, but googling 'Phillip Peter Boggins' you find an article from 2001, of a Phillip Boggins being arrested. It describes the 21-year-old from Southampton going on the run for a week after escaping police... The best bit about it all? He was evading custody so he could see his girlfriend who has recently given birth!
I still have a newspaper cutting from 1980 about this in my scrapbook! I was sixteen years old in '80 & fascinated by the story of six generations from one family. 😀
Wow, this is a cool clip. I have a friend and he has a pic of him as a baby with all the generations of his family up to his great, great grandmother. I'd never seen that before, but this obviously tops that.
Wow! My entire street in my childhood home was still being built when she was born, started in 1880… I think my entire area of London was basically a village back then (Highgate, swains lane, Hampstead heath, Highgate hill part not archway part). Such an amazing story!
I don't think she looked that old its only the way people dressed and hair styles etc. And she was one year younger than me. A lot of girls especially in our culture married before they were 20 or even 18. I didnt get married till I was 22.
She was very nearly underage when the baby was conceived (she was born in May 1963 and the baby in May 1980, but legally she would have been in school until July 1979 so the baby was conceived literally a month later)
@@francofan100Actually I think she could have left (and almost certainly did) in May. Compulsory schooling was I think based on actual birthday at the time, but the exams would also have been in May anyway. Later the cut-offs were changed to fixed times in the school year, but for her it would still have been May.
@@francofan100 Was schooling compulsory up until 16 back then? When I was growing up schooling was mandatory until 16, I thinks it’s 18 now. Maybe they had exceptions or it was lower back then?
I used to know a great great grandfather. He used to come and visit us at his old firm aged 90+ and even though no one who had been there in his day was still alive he was still welcomed and shown around. Everyone stopped what they were doing to go and greet him.
I googled Violet Lewis after watching this video, and one of the first results that came up was the obituary of an American woman with the same name who also lived to become a great great great grandmother.
Gosh ,im 6 years older than the baby and my equivalent 3 x great granny died 66 years before my birth in 1908 age 82 ! That baby is so lucky to have met them all even though only a baby !
My last 3x great grandparent died 77 years before I was born. My family has never been one for having kids young. The 3x great grandparent I mentioned was 31 when his first kid was born, 35 when my 2x great grandad was born, and 52 when his last was born. Then my 2x great grandad was also 31 when he had his first kid (my great grandmother) and 47 when he had his last. It seems my grandparents were the only generation that didn’t wait until their 30s.
My parents have an original photo taken in black and white in 1978. It was a pic of my 1st cousin who was 2 at the time, her mum (my aunt), then her mum (my paternal grandmother), her mum, and her mum, all in 1 photo!
That’s blown my mind how rare that it because we have a 2009 photo of my granddaughter as a baby with my great grandmother. Her great great great grandmother! 😮

While this family is remarkable, I still can't help missing Roy Castle. We lost a treasure when he sadly passed away of lung cancer in the late 80s/early 90s.
If you do the math it’s plausible to be a great-great-great grandparent at the age of ninety, if all of the generations have a child at eighteen years old.
The second to oldest Mrs. Lewis DID NOT look happy to be there 🤣 The oldest Mrs. Lewis (95) had a lovely smile and a lovely set of teeth, I wonder if they were dentures? To have a set of teeth like that at her age is remarkable now, absolutely unheard of back then.
Well she would be the oldest person to ever live if she was still alive. If she was still alive she,d be 138. No one has ever lived anywhere near that long.
Born 1980 He is possibly a grandad himself now! His child possibly born the year 2000 when he was 20 years old and his grandchild born 2020 when he was 40 years old.
My birth Mum‘s family were notorious for having children young so it wasn’t a surprise when I was born in 2003 and my great grandfather and great grandma from 1927 and 1929 got to hold me when I was just four days old. I have a picture of me in my great grandmas arms to mark that day.
My girlfriend's grandmother borned in 1921, she passed away couple of months ago. She was almost 103 years old. But she didn't die for natural causes, she falls from a chair if it wouldn't happend she'd still alive cause she wasn't ill at all. Her sister lived until 108 years and my grilfriend is almost 45 but she looked in her 30' s as my mother un law she is 70 but she looks in her 60's . They almost never get sick and always got energy.
I have a photograph of my great-great-grandmother but that's as far back as I can visually see. She was already an older woman in the photo. So many family photos and records were lost in the Holocaust.
The oldest one was born when Bismarck was still alive, The American Civil War would’ve been a living memory for lots of people, some Japanese people would’ve lived during the Shogunate, and Shaka Zulu would’ve still been recent enough. Damn.
the great-great grandmother looks like she didn't want to be there, almost like this the big aftermath of a bad revelation moment on the Jerry Springer show.
The most generations to exist in one family is seven: Augusta Bunge in the USA became a great-great-great-great-grandma aged 109. I personally know a woman who became a grandmother at 31 (she was 15 when she had her daughter who was 16 when she had her son) and another who was a great-grandma at 52.
after doing a bit of research I can tell what happened to them after this was filmed, according to ancestry both neiza and violet died in 1982 (just three months apart) whilst edna outlived them both and died in 1998 (aged 75). pauline is still alive and is still happily married and her daughter mandy remarried in 1989, very interesting segment and certainly fascinating for the genealogist!.
Assuming her son and and daughter in law were the same age, Violet was 16 when she had kids. Neeza was 21, Edna was 21, Pauline was 18, and Mandy was 17.
It's funny to think that in 1980 there were people living who'd been born in the Victorian era. I never thought about it then.
The last person from the Victorian Era died in 2015, so not that long ago.
I think you're right about that.@@algrant5293

I personally know a woman who became a grandmother at 31 (she was 15 when she had her daughter who was 16 when she had her son) and another who was a great-grandma at 52.
Hope she's resting well.
She must be very healthy to live such a great, great, great, great age!
They saw us go from horse and carts to landing on the moon
In essex, if you are 90, you can guarantee there's 7 generations.
I met my great great Nan but sadly she passed when I was 3.
after doing a bit of research I can tell what happened to them after this was filmed, according to ancestry both neiza and violet died in 1982 (just three months apart) whilst edna outlived them both and died in 1998 (aged 75). pauline is still alive and is still happily married and her daughter mandy remarried in 1989, very interesting segment and certainly fascinating for the genealogist!.
Awesome amazing lovely 🌹 love you respected old great great great grandma live you long time with the better health and wealth good luck

*at the bingo* “You’ll never guess Dorothy, my Great Great Grandson had a baby ❤”
rip roy castle 1932 - 1994
Based on their family history, that baby is probably a grandfather by now 😅
He Could Be 44 Years By Now
Morning Mrs Boggins
Crazy that the granddaughter would be 100 now
How old we’re here children, grand children, great grandchildren and great grandchildren… when they had children
Assuming her son and and daughter in law were the same age, Violet was 16 when she had kids. Neeza was 21, Edna was 21, Pauline was 18, and Mandy was 17.
THESE WOMEN MUST HAVE STARTED VERY YOUNG. !!!
I was born in 1980 my mum 61 my gran 22
