Christina Cock (née Clay; 25 December 188722 May 2002) is recorded as the oldest verified supercentenarian in Australian history, aged when she died. She is one of the 100 oldest verified people of all time. She was the oldest ever Australian.〔Nursing Older People: Issues and Innovations ISBN 0729578984〕 ==Biography== Christina Clay was born in Gorae, just outside Portland, Victoria being the second of 11 children. She married Wilbert Cock in 1913. The couple remained married for almost 73 years, until Wilbert's death at the age of 96 in 1986. Following the death of 110-year-old Ada Cleggett on 8 December 1995, she became the oldest living Australian, aged 107. Five years later, on 21 November 2000, Cock broke the Australian longevity record of 112 years 330 days, which was set by Caroline Maud Mockridge (11 December 1874 – 6 November 1987).〔 At the time of Cock's death, she was the second or 3rd-oldest person in the world.〔 With the later questioning of Japanese woman Kamato Hongo's age, she may have missed becoming the world's oldest person by just six days (Grace Clawson of the United States, born 15 November 1887 in Great Britain, died 28 May 2002, aged 114 years 194 days, six days after Cock). Cock lived independently until she was 109 years old, when she broke her hip during a fall.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christina Cock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
