LONGEST MARRIED COUPLE CELEBRATE 77 YEARS OF MARRIAGE
Fred and Olive Hodges, who have been married for 77 years in April, are about to enter the Guinness Book of Records as the UK’s longest married couple. The couple first met in 1915, then were separated by the First World War, They met again in 1919 and fell in love. They got engaged and married — but only after six years, when they had saved £600 to buy their first house.
The couple, who are both 102, met in their teens as they skated on a frozen river in Northampton in 1915. Fred had left school at 15 and started work for the local gas company; Olive had left at 14 and worked in a leather factory.
“I wasn’t really interested at the time, I just wanted to have fun on the ice,” said Olive. “Fred came up behind me and knocked me down. He told me years later that he did it because he wanted to pick me up.”
But, three years later, when he was 18, Fred joined the army and was soon fighting in France. Many of his comrades were killed. Fred published a book of his memories, “Men of 18 in 1918”, in 1988. In his book he described how a sudden silence signalled that war was over. “Now I knew I was going to have a life after all.”
Back in Northampton, Fred renewed his friendship with Olive. The couple had a six-year engagement before their marriage. They had two children, John and Brenda. Fred became chief cashier at the gas company. Olive stayed at home while the children grew up. The couple now have 11 grandchildren and 12 great- grandchildren — the latest just two years old. Two years ago they had to leave their own home because of Fred’s poor health. They now live together in an old people’s home in Wellsborough, Leicestershire.
“We have lots of lovely memories but the birth of our two children is the most special,” said Olive, “And the best decade for me was when Fred retired in the 1960s. His retirement just meant we could spend more time together. I love Fred so much. I don’t know what I would do without him.”
Their son, John, 73, a retired professor of genetics who lives in Austria, is full of praise for his parents. “They are completely devoted to each other,” he said. “And my sister and I could not have more loving parents.”
“My mother gave up her life for her family and home. Our parents opened doors of opportunity for us which they never had themselves and encouraged us to go through them.”
