Oldest Lady

Oldest Woman Member

By Doug Shadwell

A small newspaper clipping from the Southend on sea & County pictorial, regarding my great grandmother being the oldest member of the Rochford OAP club.

The article dates from January the 9th 1958. Frances Shadwell is now 92, and the oldest member of Rochford OAPs.

Transcript of the report as follows -:

"Oldest Lady - Rochford old age pensioners on friday accorded birthday greetings to their oldest woman member, Mrs Shadwell. She was 92 years old.
