1 January 1991

James Wiggins, USA, 110, 15 Oct. 1880

Is there any specific reason as to why LQ hasn't downgraded his age yet? Or am I simply looking at the wrong place?

I mean downgrade his age from 112y,1d to 111y,1d and his lifespan from 1879-1991 to 1880-1991.

Can you also please calculate this data for only the male SCs, Marco?

You can do so yourself by deleting all women. 😉

BTW:

"Maurice Flocquet, FRA, 110, 25 Dec. 1894"

That's Floquet, without the C.

"Thomas Nelson, USA, 111, 8 July 1894"

Has a birth/baptismal record been found for him? Or something else such as school census entries? Maybe I'm out of the loop here, but I don't think that his 1900 US Census entry in itself is enough to upgrade his age by one year--is it?

Now I can do calculations to determine the female-male ratio for each year.

Male percentage of all validated SCs for each given year since 1980:

Jan. 1, 1980: 1/16 = 6%

Jan. 1, 1981: 0/16 = 0%

Jan. 1, 1982: 1/16 = 6%

Jan. 1, 1983: 2/18 = 11%

Jan. 1, 1984: 1/14 = 7%

Jan. 1, 1985: 0/16 = 0%

Jan. 1, 1986: 3/30 = 10%

Jan. 1, 1987: 2/32 = 6%

Jan. 1, 1988: 2/29 = 7%

Jan. 1, 1989: 4/46 = 9%

Jan. 1, 1990: 6/44 = 14%

Jan. 1, 1991: 3/48 = 6%

Jan. 1, 1992: 6/65 = 9%

Jan. 1, 1993: 6/59 = 10%

Jan. 1, 1994: 4/58 = 7%

Jan. 1, 1995: 4/60 = 7%

Jan. 1, 1996: 6/75 = 8%

Jan. 1, 1997: 6/76 = 8%

Jan. 1, 1998: 4/86 = 5%

Jan. 1, 1999: 5/91 = 5%

Jan. 1, 2000: 11/118 = 9%

Jan. 1, 2001: 9/114 = 8%

Jan. 1, 2002: 14/105 = 13%

Jan. 1, 2003: 15/106 = 14%

Jan. 1, 2004: 7/128 = 5%

Jan. 1, 2005: 11/132 = 8%

Jan. 1, 2006: 9/126 = 7%

Jan. 1, 2007: 12/128 = 9%

Jan. 1, 2008: 16/132 = 12%

Jan. 1, 2009: 12/156 = 8%

Jan. 1, 2010: 4/157 = 3%

Jan. 1, 2011: 6/181 = 3%

Jan. 1, 2012: 12/193 = 6%

Jan. 1, 2013: 11/188 = 6%

Jan. 1, 2014: 13/228 = 6%

Jan. 1, 2015: 11/234 = 5%

Jan. 1, 2016: 17/234 = 7%

Jan. 1, 2017: 16/247 = 6%

Jan. 1, 2018: 12/259 = 5%

Jan. 1, 2019: 16/274 = 6%

Jan. 1, 2020: 21/274 = 8%

Jan. 1, 2021: 18/261 = 7%

Jan. 1, 2022: 20/279 = 7%

Jan. 1, 2023: 18/265 = 7%

Jan. 1, 2024: 16/274 = 6%

Jan. 1, 2025: 17/227 = 7%

What this shows is that the percentage of male SCs relative to the total of SCs (validated cases only) has hovered pretty consistently in the 5-10% range over the last half a century, with there being occasional outliers in both directions but with the average "steady state" ratio for this probably being around 7%. Of course, in recent years, validated Latin American male SCs have performed very well per capita, so without them, this ratio might be more like 5%, in which case we would have seen a significant decline from the early 2000s.

Done, and also did some calculations too! 🙂 See right above! 😉

My calculations only showed that 2010 and 2011 had the weakest male SC performance since 1985! Which suggests that some males born near the end of the 1800s and 19th century who had SC potential failed to realize it and/or that there are some additional verifiable male SCs from this cohort which we simply don't know about yet, especially from Latin America.

Gerald Gilman, USA, 110, 30 Apr. 1893

His likely birth record lists him as being exactly one year older. While his name (Mazel G. Gilman) and sex (female) are different, it's likely due to a typo for the sex (Mazel is much more often a girl's name than a boy's name, though it has been occasionally used for boys as well) and his name might have been changed by the time of the 1900 US Census (especially considering the rarity of the name Mazel) considering that his parents are listed as having 1 total child and 1 living child in both 1900 and 1910 and considering that I could not find any additional birth or death records for any siblings of his. Surely if Mazel G. Gilman was an older sibling of Gerald's and died young (before 1900), then a death record for them should exist somewhere, no? Yet I could not find anything for them. Plus, the odds of two children being born on the exact same day, but a year apart, are not very high. Not impossible, but very unlikely.

I previously posted about all of this in my very own thread on this forum.
