Letter: Aged parent

Sir: On 13 May, my great-aunt Mrs Alison Graham, of Edinburgh, celebrated her 95th birthday. Her father, Sir Alexander Christison, 2nd Baronet, was 73 when she was born. It would be interesting to know whether there is anyone else alive today who can claim that their father was born in the year Franz Schubert died - 1828.
