Was Harry Waddingham born in Great Britain or Ireland? The sources I look at give me different answers.

No Waddingham name appears in the 1916 Irish birth entries.

There is a birth record for a Harry Waddingham, born in the last quarter (Oct/Nov/Dec) of 1916 in Fulham, London, England. I'd say this is him.

An age of 107 years, 173 days would mean he died on 10 December 2025.

An age of 107 years, 173 days would mean he died on 10 December 2025.

 

This page gives a 9 December death date for him. You need to log in to read the full article but the date is given in the preview

I'd be inclined to think that this is the correct date and that the poster just miscounted, but I think it's best to wait until an official record of some sort to fully settle the case. 

• Alex Poteliakhoff entered the list on July 11, 2025.
• May 12, 2025 was the last list with only one person from London, as well as the last one without an immigrant.
• Northamptonshire makes its debut on the list.
• If he were alive, Alex Poteliakhoff would be the 2nd oldest living emigrant from Russia, the 44th oldest living man in Europe, and the 20th oldest male emigrant from Russia.
• July 11, 2025 was the last list with 7 people over 108.
• 1919 makes its debut on the list, 1918 debuted on March 7, 2025.
