Thomas Emley Young

Thomas Emley Young was the president of the Institute of Actuaries, London, in 1898. He wrote a book entitled "Centenarians" (published in 1899; revised version issued 1905). His work included the first supercentenarian case validation, that of Margaret Ann Neve (validated in 1898 at 106 but reached age 110 in 1902). Thomas Emley Young was also the first person to create a validated list of centenarians using the "age in years and days" ranking format, in 1898. stub starter
