My 4 x great grandfather died in 1845, aged 97. This is the oldest death in my family that I know of. My 3 times great grandfather in a different branch died at 93.
Most of my direct ancestors (excluding women who died in childbirth) died in their 80s or 90s. If they lived in the countryside they tended to live longer than those in the towns/cities.
Recently they've been dying off earlier than in the past.
