Thelma Barratt and Elma Harris marked their 104th birthdays back in August last year at Pear Tree House Care Home, in Wesham, Lancashire. The twin sisters, who were born in Cheadle Heath in Stockport, explained that they “can’t believe” they are celebrating the milestone. “I keep saying ‘I’m sure you’re kidding me’,” Thelma said. “We don’t act our age. We hope to keep young,” Elma added. Thelma and Elma were born in 1919, and both attended Alexandra Park Primary School.
