[edit] Highest combined ages of married couples (≥210 years when both have died)
Remark: Guinness counts only the highest combined age of both persons living at the same time, not the combined maximum age of both persons. If the point of the record is "as a couple", not an individual, then the "oldest couple" is NOT the same as the maximum age of both persons, or, in other words, the time of having been a widow/widower is in that case excluded.
