Τhe biggest age gap you've ever had in a relationship was..?

[Anglo-Celtic]

I have an ancestor from back in the 1800's, I can't recall his name right now but he married three times. He was in his old age, twice widowed, when he married an 18 year old. I descend from the first wife. Each marriage was in a different denomination, different church. His third wife was Lutheran.

He was quite fit. Don't tell me that there was a fourth marriage.

Just 3, that I know of.

One of my mother's ancestors, the youngest daughter of a local "potentate" (in the early 19th century), was married and widowed three times. Every time she got married she married a younger man than the previous one (she was obviously getting older). My mother's ancestor was her second husband. She had children with two of them, apart from my ancestor I don't remember which of the other two.

She was born in this "manor house", which later passed into different hands.
