Who is the oldest person living in New Zealand?

Answer 1

According to The Southland Times, Maudie Wilson's family "believes she could be New Zealand's oldest resident."*

There have been A HECK OF A LOT of deaths this year from the oldest people in New Zealand.

*Esther Moreland (25 February 1902 - 11 February 2011)

*Doris Mackintosh (18 January 1902 - 15 February 2011)

*Dudley Sainsbury (male) (15 June 1903 - 18 February 2011)

*Lena Ray (19 January 1902 - 14 March 2011)

*Win Turner (12 January 1904 - 18 March 2011)

*Agnes Harkins (27 June 1903 in Scotland - 29 March 2011)

*Muriel Daisy Smith (10 April 1903 - 27 June 2011)

*Stephen Todd (male) (3 June 1905 in England - 4 July 2011)

With all of that said, I have compiled the oldest known residents (to my knowledge).

1. Maudie Wilson (23 March 1903)

2. Dorothy Topp (21 July 1903 in England)**

3. Peg Wilson (25 May 1904)

Answer 2

New Zealand's oldest living man as of January 14, 2011, no sources say that this particular man is, but I would assume that Dudley Sainsbury, born June 15, 1903, is New Zealand's oldest man, though he was born in England. And on top of that, his last update was back in October 2009.

New Zealand's oldest man ever, according to a source, says that Henry Burling (1801-1911), aged 110 years, 133 days. Although, a recent article says that he was only 103.

Answer 3
