July 4, 1932 - Having given birth to her first child at 55 years and 69 days, Mrs. Mary Higgins of Cord, Ireland bids fair to win the prize offered by a London newspaper for information as to the
oldest motherin the last 20 years.
Thus far, the runner-up is Mrs. Elizabeth Pierce of Bitterne, Southampton, whose youngest child was born when she was 54 years and 40 days.
The paper calls attention to an old announcement in the Royal Cornwall Gazette of January 2, 1819, reporting the birth of twins on Christmas Eve, to Mrs. George Saunders, wife of a London shoemaker in her 59th year.
