COULD this Guernsey family group be the world’s longest-lived siblings?
The seven surviving brothers and sisters in the Le Prevost family have a combined age of 560 years – and they want to know if anyone can beat them.
Their mother, Ada Le Prevost, was born in 1896. She met and married John James Ogier, who was in the Navy, and they had six children.
When he died at the age of just 32, she went on to meet Walter Falla and, although they were together for more than 50 years, they never married – but had six more children.
The seven remaining brothers and sisters range in age from between 74 and 90.
