Jane Bunford
Jane "Jinny" Bunford (26 July 1895 – 1 April 1922)〔http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl〕 was the tallest person in English medical history, measuring at the time of her death (adjusted for spinal curvature).
She was the tallest person in the world during her lifetime, and she still may hold two further records – that she was twice the tallest living person in the world, – between 1916 and 1919, and between 20 May 1921 and 1 April 1922.〔("World's Tallest Living Human Being, 1600 – Present" )〕 and that she could have had the longest hair in Britain, during her lifetime. She is the tallest person ever recorded in England, Scotland or Wales, and the tallest person recorded in Britain since September 1806. At the time of her death she was also the tallest woman in world medical history, a record that stood for the next sixty years.
Bunford continues to be one of the most mysterious giants to have lived during the 20th century. Not much is known about her, and no photographs, if any still do exist, have ever been seen by or shown to the general public. Bunford was listed in the ''Guinness Book of Records'' between 1972 and 2001 but they only once published a photograph of her skeleton and a copy of her death certificate, which they obtained on 10 February 1972. A copy of it appeared at the foot of page 11 in the 1972 publication.〔The Guinness Book of Records – 1972〕
==Early life==
Bunford's parents were John Bunford (14 March 1856 – 10 December 1916)〔 and Jane Bunford née Andrews, (1857–1934)〔 of Bartley Green, Northfield, Birmingham, UK. Her father was a metal caster. Known as "Jinny" Bunford, Jane was born in Scotland Lane, Bartley Green on 26 July 1895. A quiet, shy child who enjoyed good health during the first 11 years of her life, while she was quite tall for her age, her growth rate was not unusual or exceptional before her accident. In June 1906, she stood tall.
