1. Oldest in Britain is maintained by Dr. Andrew Holmes, GRG correspondent for the UK. If he lists an SC on his site, he probably has (or knows of) evidence to back up the claim.

2. In case you haven't noticed, nobody under 111.85 who was born in 1905 has been validated. Harold Bracher was anonymous until October 2016, when we learned of his passing.

We can't skip to them just because they are male. There are other, older SCs that should be validated first. Both men will have to wait their turn.

Also, we are only up to February 2015 for pending case updates, so Frank Simes will not be on it until at least the July 2015 update. Harold Bracher is unlikely to be on it until October 2016, when we learned his name and birthplace, but I could be wrong.
