Russell also lived a long time, with family who did too.

While young his grandfather told Bertrand about meeting Napoleon. Late in life Bertrand watched the moon landing on TV.

Obviously that two experiences that span more than one life time, but they are very far apart.

His (ex-)wife Dora was my wife's neighbour, she was quite a force in her own right (and lived to 92):
