A few years ago I found a post about a man named Norman, aged 106 as of April 2021, who reunited with his daughter after time apart due to lockdown restrictions.

I tried looking for more information on him for a few years to no avail. However, as it turns out, he is actually somewhat notable: film producer Norman Spencer, born 13 August 1914, which would make him the fourth-oldest living man in the UK.

Yeah - Rob and I had been puzzled on this one for some time until I finally identified him today by chance after seeing a post on an unrelated forum. Very nice to finally have another 1914-born UK man confirmed living (at least up to the end of September last year).

Only three British men born before the start of World War I! Wow! That generation is sadly rapidly disappearing. 🙁

David Crawford celebrated his 108th birthday today!

What are the doubts about Norman Spencer's age?

@rutzqwezex No doubts, but his 109th birthday was not confirmed publicly.

The unfortunate news about the passing of Ronald Naylor means Norman Spencer now occupies spot #3, and we are down to just two known men from 1914.

Hopefully Norman is doing well.

A man named John (not yet sure of his surname) living in Gillingham, Dorset, turned 107 at the end of August:

Incredibly, this means that 5 of the 11 oldest known living men in the UK go by the name John.

And another 107+ year-old man named John!

John Shannon of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, born 1 October 1916:

He has been mentioned in a few articles over the years:

In other John news, here is a pre-birthday confirmation for John Dougall, of Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, born 3 October 1916:

It’s a very common name

Our world doyenne and doyen are basically named “John” and “Mary”

It's still a notable coincidence for so many people in the British male top 10 to have the same name, even if it was the most common one at the time. I don't know what the statistics were for the United Kingdom, but it seems like around 5% of men born in the 1910s in the United States had the name John, according to this page, which is only a small fraction of the population.

And the UK has had two cases of SCs with the same first and last name: Grace Jones and Mary Walker. Three of those people had the title of oldest person in Britain and Mary Florence Walker might get it in the future 

Donald Rose was visited by civic dignitaries this Armistice Day ( https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-news/108-year-old-ilkeston-man-8899484):

It's great to see him looking well. The article mistakenly says he is the oldest living WWII veteran in the UK - however Ailsa Stewart is a few days older and was a second officer in the Wrens (the Women's Royal Naval Service)
