Margaret Cryer was born on November 25, 1913, and sadly passed away on June 23, 2026, at the age of 112 years and 210 days. She was the third-oldest person living in the United Kingdom, the 44th-oldest living person in the world, the 32nd-oldest person in UK history, the oldest living person in West Yorkshire, and the 10th-oldest living person in Europe. She was the last surviving person born in 1913 in the United Kingdom, and the youngest to die holding that distinction since Ada Thompson (born November 28, 1910; died March 13, 2023, at age 112 years, 105 days).
She is the 771st-oldest person in history and the 169th-oldest European person in history.
She was born and died in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, England.
RIP

When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

Margaret Cryer, UK’s Third-Oldest Resident, Dies at 112
Margaret Cryer, the third-oldest living person in the UK, passed away in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, on 23 June, at the age of 112 years, 210 days.
Cryer was born in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, England, on 25 November 1913.
On 13 March 2023, following the passing of Ada Thompson, she became the oldest (known) living person in West Yorkshire. At the time of her passing, she was the nation’s third-oldest resident, after Ethel Caterham, 116, and Merah Smith, 113. Cryer was also the last surviving person in the UK who was born in 1913.
According to the Oldest in Britain website, which tracks the oldest living people in the United Kingdom, Cryer’s likely successor as the oldest living person in West Yorkshire is possibly Alice Bagley, 107, of Leeds.
