The GRG announces the age validation of Rhoda Binge, nee Cowell. Rhoda was born in Lamesley, County Durham, England, on January 8th 1913 to Andrew and Mary (Scott) Cowell. She had at least three siblings. In April 1936, she married Albert Stanley Binge and went on to have one child – a daughter named Yvonne, born in October 1940. Albert sadly passed away in 1982, leaving Rhoda a widow. Rhoda currently lives in Netley, Hampshire, at age 111 and is the seventh oldest known person residing in the UK currently.
Rhoda’s age was verified by myself, later accepted as valid by the GRG with a date of January 13th 2024.
The Gerontology Research Group (GRG) is a global non-profit dedicated to validating, recording, and researching supercentenarians — those aged 110 or older. Founded in 1990, we focus on human longevity, healthy aging, and studying the lives of the world’s oldest people.
Our work requires significant funding for research, travel, and maintaining our website. Any financial support would greatly aid our mission to advance the understanding of human longevity.
If you wish to support our research financially, please donate to our efforts, but only if you can afford it. We would greatly appreciate even a symbolic support. Thank you!
