A Mexico woman has been titled the oldest person in the world after crossing 127 year born 1887. She said that she
has lost her birth certificate about 40 years ago.
     
The woman by name Leandra Becerra Lumbreras was said to be born on August 31, 1887. This is the same year when Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden Jubilee.
Leandra was said 27-years-old when the second World War broke out, already a pensioner at 66 when Queen Elizabeth II ascended the British throne and 82 when man first set foot on the moon.

According to her family, the secret behind her long life is ‘eating well’, sleeping for days on end and never getting married.
Some says Leandra fought in the 1910-1917 Mexican Revolution as a leader of the Adelitas – women who went with their men to the battle front.
Leandra Becerra Lumbreras , who is former seamstress, has already buried her 5 children and several of her twenty grand-children – the last that died is in 2013 and was 90 yrs 1923-2013, reportedly.
     
Leandra Becerra Lumbreras, who is yet the world’s oldest human, also has 73 great-grand-children and 55 great-great-grand-children.
Since she lost her birth certificate 4 decades ago, Mexican authorities are now trying to provide a new birth certificate.
        Her grand-daughter made it known to reporters that although she is now deaf and suffering from cataracts, she still often entertains her family with stories from a time long confined to history books.
She said: “She is entirely lucid. She blows your mind with her stories from the Mexican revolution. She was always a woman who fought. She was still sewing and weaving until about two years ago. She never ceased to be active, that’s why we think she’s lived so long.”
Leandra Becerra Lumbreras is 12 years older than Japan’s Misao Okawa, currently the oldest living person in the world, according to Guinness World Records.
