Greenock.
There is now living in the village of Headley, Hants, a man whose father
was born in the time (though not in the reign) of James II.; viz. 1697.
As a curious instance of the space of time included in the lives of a
father and son (although there is nothing wonderful in the number of
years attained by either separately), I have thought it worth recording
in "N. & Q." I may add that the age of the man now living at Headley is
eighty-three, and he was born when his father was seventy-two years old.
