one of my best friends at school
her nan had 21 kids all girls
and all names after flowers :-D

People often joke that, when they've had a few kids, they could start a football team. That family had enough kids for 3 football teams. They could've been in a league of their own. :-)

Hi Debbie

I think I have found the family on the Census'. I have a Platinum Subscription so I thought I'd look into it.

I have sent you a PM with the attached Census', in case you may be interested.

If anyone else would like them, please feel free to PM me.

Wonder if she is still looking in or at all interested 11 years later :-)

I wonder how many kids Debbie has had in the last 11 years :-S

OH's gt grandfather was one of 20 children ................ all survived into adulthood.

However, less than half of them seem to have married


Most of the babies were born about 18 months apart, the first one only 5 months after the marriage ................. the mother was pregnant for most of 32 years


she died young, in her late 50s, of heart trouble :-(

One family line iam researching had 21 children, 6 sets of twins, this was from the 1950's both parents died in 2007 and 2008.

Said in Newspaper article in 2007 that in 1965 they were listed in Guiness Book of Records as most sets of twins, and given International coverage. This was in Westport Co Mayo.
