Born in Dharwar , India in 1892, Lucy Victoria d'Souza married Abundius d'Abreu, a surgeon, and moved to Northern Ireland , around 1913. In 1985, she moved to Scotland to be near one of her children. Her husband was a cousin-in-law of the Queen Mother , and she was visited by the British Royal Family in May 2002, for her 110th birthday. Lucy holds the record for the oldest person born in India (whose age can be verified). After a fall at the age of 106, she moved to Annfield House nursing home in Stirling where she died peacefully on December 7 2005 , aged 113 years and 197 days. Historically, it should be noted that she was one of the last people, if not the last person, to have lived in India during Queen Victoria 's reign, and also during the Great Famine of 1896-1902.
