Sorry for the double dunter. I posted the first pic and was hit with the "Someone else has posted so you may wish to review your...."   Or something like that so I hit it again. Anyway, as the say in Primark...Two for the price of one.

The coloured image looks wonderful.

Apart from the clothes, of course, the family look very "modern" if you know what I mean - could be a family from today.

oisinhi1,  I agree, the photo looks wonderful in colour and is brilliantly done, as are they all.
I am always amazed by the 24 children too.  I imagined that there would be several sets of twins too but I have only found 1.  I haven't found all the births though.

If it's a record they are welcome to it. It's not one  that I would like to emulate.  Shocked

IgorStrav, I often feel that old photo's that have been coloured look more modern.  They really bring people to life and I can see several family likenesses now, including my  grandma and myself.  She is the little girl on the right.

Elin, I have been trying to work out the ages. 

Did your grandma have a twin?  Is it the little girl on the extreme left of the front row?  They look very much of an age.

And I wondered if the little boy (in red in the coloured version) next to his mother was the twin of Paula's favourite, the determined little madam with the folded arms.

IgorStrav,

I have just been checking and don't appear to have any twins in this first ten.

The eldest child is Nellie who was born in 1884 and I would imagine is about 12/13?   Then we have Joseph 1885, Charles 1887, William 1888, Elizabeth 1890, Louisa (Grandma) 1892, Gwenllian(Paula's favourite) 1893,  Blodwen 1896, Anne, 1898 and Hector 1900 : Roll Eyes
