Jane Bunford

Jane Bunford (also known as Ginny Bunford or Jinny Bunford - 26 July 1895 — 1 April 1922) is the second tallest woman ever at a height of 7'11". She was the tallest woman in the world during her lifetime, and she still may hold four further records - that she was twice the tallest living person in the world, - around 1914 (after Machnow had died, and before Bernard Coyne overtook her) and between 20 May 1921 and 1 April 1922 (after Bernard Coyne's death until Ginny died).
