Karam and Kartari Chand who have just celebrated their 86th year together Karam and Kartari Chand who have just celebrated their 86th year together

A Bradford couple who celebrated their 86th wedding anniversary this month could be the UK’s longest married husband and wife.

Karam and Kartari Chand, of Washington Street, tied the knot in a traditional Sikh ceremony in 1925.

They have just celebrated their 86th year together, which they think may qualify them as the UK's longest married couple.

Mr Chand, 106, and his wife, 99, were born in a small rural village in the Punjab in northern India. They emigrated to Bradford in 1966, where Mr Chand found work in the mill trade. They went on to have eight children, 27 grandchildren and more than ten great grandchildren.

Their daughter Kaushalya Devi said there was no secret to her parents long marriage. “I just think they have had a happy time together. Simple co-operation, patience and just getting along has been the key to it all.”

Mr and Mrs Chand live with their youngest son Satpal, who is the landlord of the Castle Hotel in Grattan Street, together with his wife and two of their four children.

Mrs Devi said she thought a good diet and a close family had contributed to her parents’ long and happy lives.

“Living with family is a big help and support,” she said. “The company of family helps them to pass time and stay alert instead of them being alone in the house.

86 years will take some beating

yes, they got married the same year my 70 years married brother-in-law was born. lol

I suppose it would not be deemed unusual all those years ago

And she did Burton.

My grandparents will hopefully be celebrating their 73rd later this year.

Kenny did your father start another family with a much younger woman? is this why you are 7 years younger than your niece?

73rd! That's brilliant. Congratulations to them.

I haven't forgotten the question AG, just watching golf.

Mum married her first husband in about 1927. It produced my step-sister the same year. Sadly her father died in 1936, aged 36. She the married my dad in 1943 which produced me and my full sister. Sadly he died in 1953, so poor mum was widowed for the 2nd time at age 47.

If I'd have stayed married to wife No.1 it would be 43 years this July

The Krays only got 30 ffs

I think Reggie did more than 30!

Kenny she is not your step sister but your half sister.

I actually knew a nice old couple who were married for 80 years. Would that be Platinum?

you're quite right AG.

platinum's 70

So it`s your half sister`s daughter who is 85 and her daughter(your niece) who is 69?

So what is 80?

oak

no no ignore that

So it`s your half sister who is 85 and her daughter(your niece) who is 69?

she's 86 actually, and her husband is 88 so they;re quite young to have been married 70 years. Barbara, my niece is 69.

After they got married he lost his first weeks wages on the dogs.

Cripes - is it past one?

Always thought the fewer relatives the better.

well they made it. Great party at Bingley St Ives golf club on Sunday enjoyed by all.

71 up!

Absolutely fantastic Kenny, definitely something worth celebrating and well done to them.
As a wee aside did you pull at the do?

Kenny always gets a "Chick"

Well the do was 12 months ago, akabula. I thought it polite to spend time with my neice and the children who were over from New York as I'd never seen the children before, so I resisted.

Great achievement that, 71 years. Best wishes to the happy couple.

cheers tmm.

Yes re-read  and noticed that. 71 years, quite astounding. Best wishes to them Kenny and here's hoping they are celebrating 72 years.

Thanks akabula, fair chance. They are quite young to have been married that long.

I'm 43 tears married Kenny and praying I get to 50 let alone 70.

No problem, young man.

Sadly my younger (full) sister died on Friday.

But Joan and Malcolm are marching on to their 72nd anniversary shortly (touch wood)

Sorry to read that sad news G, hope you are ok mate.

Thanks Slippy, not too bad mate. Will be heading to Northumberland for the funeral, probably next week.

Chin up kenny mann, the thought of losing one of my siblings would be too much to bear. I had 20 Aunts and Uncles, only 4 left now Not a lot of good news about, 2 of them that are left are in dire straits right now.

Cheers, Slippy. Poor girl had it rough for 20 years with muscular distrophy.

Sorry to read that about your sister Kenny.

Thanks, aka'.
