Re: The oldest emigrant
I did wonder why on earth after 102 years in this country he would decide to emmigrate until I read that his wife is from New Zealand and they have been married 12 years. She will be returning home so that makes more sense to me.

Re: The oldest emigrant
I suspect he wouldn't have qualified for emigration on his own merit

Re: The oldest emigrant
You can be homesick for a place though. It doesn't necessarily automatically mean family although the chances are she does have generations of family there.
