At least one of my grandparents was born in the 19th Century. The rest were all born before 1910.
By the way, @KarlLB, thirty isn't old! Sorry, working out a minimum for that. I am assuming all children born in wedlock. If you can be married at 15 then you can have a child at 15, so if both generations did that, that would make your Grandfather 30 when you were born, which would make you now 30. Mind you, given the maximum, you could be 120, basically, I am assuming your Grandfather was alive when you were born, so he must have been younger than the oldest man. For your grandmother, this would be limited to something around 100.

You missed the data point that said Grandfather was born before WW1
My grandfather was born almost 140 years ago. My father was born before WW1. I don't feel that old, though. But then again, my daughter once looked astonished that I had vivid memories of Abba winning the Eurovision Song Contest. Because that was soooooo long ago....
Came across a comment that gives me hope. A man on FB said his 90-year-old mother was going on a train trip, and she was wondering if she could charge her phone (I know trains in Canada and the US do have charging ports where the passengers are seated usually). She mentioned she currently charges her phone through her cable box. He (and me) did not know that. Says something when you can still learn from a 90-year-old.
Am I just a spring chicken here at 62? My father is 90, and my maternal grandfather would have been 121 this year.
Well, I’m 65. Though my mother would be 100 next month, and my father would have been 102 this month, I’m the youngest of their children. My oldest sibling is 10½ years older than I am.
Self-disclosure, I am 76 years old. Consequently, all my grandparents were born in the 19th Century. Dad was born 1919. Mom was born 1925. I am the oldest of three boys, but my youngest brother died about 10 years ago. Aches and pains in lower back and left hand.

Most buses and trains in Britain have USB charging points and, on long-distance trains, power sockets.

(You realise you’re getting old when you have the nerve to write something like that without shame)
Truth is that mentally I feel about 30 (when awake) physically about 90! Which averages out at 60.
At my meeting with the oncologist last week he did say -'You're very fit - for your age'.
