A woman who came from my home town, ended up having 19 children, Amongst them were 2 sets of twins, a set of triplets and the rest single births...They didnt have much but are a terrifc family and the mum she was so skinny, no bloody wonder *lol* and recently I was talking to my sister and we realsied we never ever saw their father and yes he was it for all of them...figure that out...night owl alright!

Many years ago, when i was a serving policeman, a local chap had 22 children. He refused to get a job because the best one they offered to him only paid half of what he was getting in benefits. At least he was completely honest about it - and who can blame him - certainly not his wife with that number to look after. Best wishes

Sue.... With 18 children !!!!! So that's were the saying came from then ?.... " Kiss me Hardy " ....lol :0)) MIKE. ( Very busy still )

In my husband's family (1788) his gg...grandfather had three wives (not all at once of course, he remarried as each one died in childbirth) and he produced 23 kids. It's a nightmare sorting out all the various branches.

22 is so hard to imagine isn't it? like my Nan my G nan was a tiny thing, only 4ft 10, but ruled with a rod of iron. My g nan on other side had 16 children, so we tend to have family everywhere. M.

No i cannot beat that but my grandmother was one of 17 Val

I've got 16 living kids (not me personally lol) but there are probably more that died who I haven't found yet.

lol @ Mike no they were Hardy's this time Mike. How are you still keeping busy? finding all our rellies. Regards Sue................

My Great Grandmother had 22 children. M.

i could't imagine 18 kid's, how ever did she manage? no washing machine, no fridge/freezer, no gas heating, no disposible nappies, no plug in iron, no tumble dryer, no gas cooker, and no computers with genes reunited, nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can bearly manage with all the modern appliances doing the work for me. question:: when did she have time to make babies???????????

Eh...And where they all " RINGROSE 'S." !!!! ?.....

Just found out that a family of mine in 1881 had 18 children, can you beat this? How ever did they manage, the father was a joiner, must of paid well. Sue............
