The GRG announces the age validation of Hilda May Clulow, nee Heath. Hilda was born March 15th 1908 in Selly Park, Birmingham, England and had five siblings. In 1937, Hilda married Arthur Clulow and went on to have children together. She worked as a dressmaker in a factory and retired at age 60, before later moving into a care home in Redditch, Worcestershire. In October 2019, Hilda became the oldest known person living in the UK and retained this title until her death. She passed away December 24th 2019 in Redditch.
Hilda’s age was verified by Waclaw Jan Kroczek and myself, later accepted as retroactively valid on December 24th 2020.
