On June 1, 2005 Mrs. Arrowsmith and her husband, Percy, made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for having the world's longest marriage for a living couple. It seems that it was given to the wrong couple. André Léon Alphonse Debry and his wife, Marguerite Debry, were married August 12, 1924. This would have them married 81 years in 2005. Mr. and Mrs. Arrowsmith were married 80 years as they were married June 1, 1925, 3 years after they met. Mr. Debry passed away August 31, 2005, age 107. Mrs. Debry passed away four months afterwards, age 102. Both couples deserve considerable recognition for so many years of marriage.

Mr. Arrowsmith passed Jun. 15, 2005, age 105. His death date was 2 weeks after their 80th wedding anniversary.

Mr. and Mrs. Arrowsmith were survived by a daughter, Daphne Sayce, and a foster daughter, Jane. Also survived by six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. They also had a son, Peter, who passed away in Oct. 2006.
