Moira Stewart. National institution. But, how old is she? I cannot find out for the life of me. My family are currently sat arguing about this, because we're a total bunch of sad acts. Find me a link, win a thing.
Failing that, I'll take an average. So, how old do you think this pillar of our society is?

Have no idea how old she is though, at a guess I'd say 52.
Anyway according to the bbc press office story for 'Who Do You Think You Are?'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2004/09_september/24/who_stuart.shtml
Moira's mother came to Britain in 1935 and trained as a nurse and met and married her father, Harold Stuart, during the war. Now her parents divorced when Moira was just 10 months old, and here's the important quote from her mother -
"Harold and I were used to high living with servants but during the war there was the stress of rationing and making a living and our relationship couldn't survive."
So for that I'm assuming that the divorce is a result of the stress of the war. Based on this and given the description of the marriage only starting 'during' the war, rather than the 'beginning' or 'just as war broke out' I'd guess the marriage happened during the war, and the marriage ended after. Just assuming based on wartime conditions that they'd be unlikely to divorce then, especially with Moira on the way.
So theoretically I'd say the divorce would of happened around 1946 which would put her birth at around 45 - so I'm guessing she is around 60?
The parents married in 1943. She was 10 months old making her around 61/62?
No hang on i think i've got that wrong :chin:
Yeah i've figured that out now!
we were trying to remember if her last name was stewart.
clearly it is. i feel a little better now.
Isn't it just. :impissed: Ta for the help, much appreciated. Looks like it's between me & me ma as for who's in the money.
My brother thought she was 47. Bless. He's only 21.
Wow, detective Jim! I've been wondering how old she is for the past decade! She's always been around when i've seen the news. I just assumed she was weird and let her get on with it.
