Your punishment John.....is to go and sit on the *naughty chair* for 1 hour. *That is the chair in front of the PC though!!!! Sam

Hi All, Hopefully you will accept my apology people? I just did not expect such a good response from you all, and left the message on both boards and what a response from all of you ! - I cannot thank you all enough. I have now numbered the tips board message No. 2 and hopefully this will stop the confusion.... or what is the punishment for being on both boards at once ? Regards J.C.

My gg gran was supposedly one of 13 children, this is still to be confirmed. Another ancestor had 11 children, all survived. Another had at least 12, most of them lived beyond infancy.

You've posted on both boards! I've just spent ages wondering where my post had gone. Sam

My Nan was one of 22, and my Grandad was one of 16, all born to the same parents, in the same place (Monmouthshire), but I cannot seem to find them all, just a handful of both families. M.

Hi Maz, I'm glad there's someone else out there with a large, compact happy family, Thanks J.C.

My father-in-law tells me his dad was one of 21 - all surviving infancy and all with the same 2 parents. Yet to prove it as still doing my own tree! Maz. XX

Judy, Thanks for the info, much obliged for the help, J.C.

Hi All, Anyone like a challenge, or should I say a permanent headache?. My G / G Grandmother's father was a Henry Wannell, born in Topsham, Devon died 3/1/1919, word of mouth through the family was that he was one of twenty one children ??? , - whether they all survived is in doubt, and how many wives we do not know. Henry Herbert Wannell was born 18th Nov 1827 Topsham, Devon, died 3rd Jan 1919 in London,- Camberwell I think ?, and buried 11 Jan 1919 in Streatham Park Cemetery, - his wife was Mary Ann, thats ALL the info I have I'm afraid, sorry!. If ANYONE feels up to trying to help with this, I'd be much obliged. MANY THANKS, J.C
