All Anglican churches can trace their roots to the Church of England, which can trace its roots back the Apostolic church.
from Wikipedia:
The Church of England considers itself to stand both in a reformed tradition and in a catholic (but not Roman Catholic) church tradition: Reformed insofar as many of the principles of the early protestants as well as the subsequent Protestant Reformation have influenced it, and insofar as it does not accept Papal authority; catholic, in that it views itself as the 'unbroken continuation of the early apostolic and later medieval' "universal church", rather than as a 'new formation'.

We'll, they can't call Catholics the "first" church which it is... so they call it "old Church"
Just like God is also "old" that's why we have "new bibles" and "new churches" the idea these days is to change God for the world not change the world for God.
the whole situation is so :swoon:

Actually - I believe - (Fr. Rick correct me if I'm wrong) - "Old" was added to differentiate between the Roman church - which invented the doctrine of infallibility of the Pope during the First Vatican Council. So they are "Old Catholic" because they adhere to the Traditions of the church before the new doctrine. You should read the sticky above.
