   Oldest couple to divorce - Bertie and Jessie Wood sets world record

 LONDON, UK --Bertie and Jessie Wood ended their 36-year marriage when they were both two years away from their 100th birthdays-setting the world record for the Oldest couple to divorce.

   Both were 97 at the time and it is unclear why their marriage failed although a decree absolute is believed to have been granted subsequently.

 Both had been married before when they wed in Elstree, Hertfordshire, in 1972. They moved to Falmouth, Cornwall, four years later, but by 2008 the relationship was over.
  
   The reason for the spilt is not known. Divorce expert Francine Kaye said: “At that age you’d think you’d find some way of getting on with each other.”

   Wood died shortly after the divorce decree was issued, shortly before he turned 99, and Ms. Wood now lives in a nursing home.

   Mrs Wood's daughter Pauline Rowe, 65, refused to discuss the split. 'It's too hurtful to talk about,' she told the News of The World.

   Terence Wood, Mr Wood's son from his first marriage, also refused to comment on the marriage break-up, which prompted divorce expert Francine Kaye to say: 'At that age you'd think you'd find some way of getting on with each other.'

    The previous Guinness world record for the oldest couple to divorce was held by Earlier Simon, 97, and Ida Stern, 91, of Wisconsin, US, who split in 1984

  The Guinness world record for the oldest newlyweds is held by French couple Francois Fernandez, then 96, and Madeleine Francineau, then 94. who married in 2002.
