Annie Jennings, née Thomas[1] (12 November 1884 – 20 November 1999) was a British supercentenarian and the world's second oldest living person, after American Sarah Knauss, at Jennings' death at age 115 years, 8 days.[2] Jennings hailed from Chesterfield, Derbyshire[3] where she celebrated her 114th birthday.[4] She became the oldest living person in the United Kingdom following the death of Lucy Jane Askew on 9 December 1997.[5] Jennings held the title for about two years and was succeeded as the oldest person in the UK by Eva Morris. A teacher who never had children, she is the second oldest Briton ever behind only Charlotte Hughes.[1]
Jennings disliked being in the Guinness World Records.[6]
