4. Sandra Lennon – Second Oldest Mother In Britain
Sandra Lennon was the mother of two and grandmother of four. In October 2004, Sandra gave birth to a baby boy, Alex, at the age of 59. It was her second child born of IVF treatment. The first, Joshua, was born in 2003.
In 2003, she became “the second oldest mother ever in Britain.” Sandra’s grandchildren are all older than both Alex and Joshua. And the birth of the newborns sent shock waves within the family. Her adult child, Lisa, called her “selfish.”
“I don’t think my family will mind,” says Sandra. But Lisa says, “It’s absolutely ridiculous. She presents this nice image – but it is a lie. None of what she says is true.” In fact, Sandra and her husband, Michael, married in name only, having never lived together. The two were reportedly on the verge of divorce after Alex’s birth. The father, Michael, only reportedly only visits the babies on the weekends.
Her 32-year-old son was also not on speaking terms with his mother. “None of us wants this. It was bad enough the first time round,” his wife said.
