I will never know for sure how old my 10x-great-grandfather Edmund Armesby was when he died, but he was definitely very old.

The entry from the parish register states this:

“Edmund Armesby an aged man beinge, by his owne relation in his life time, and the opinion of aged men who knewe him even from their minority, about one hundred and tenne yeres of age died January 15th and was buried Jan: 16 Anno 1629 predict at evening prayer by Walter Winston master of Artes and at that time Curate here to the great Comfort of all the parish of Bletchington”
