Can that be correct ?
Assuming that the woman in those days breast fed the children, she must still have had one a year in her fertile years, which is very odd as breast feeding tends to prevent preganancy (it didnt with me !  ) ...
Poor woman is all I can say !

Great grandmother Ellen.
Married at 16 years & 4 months already pregnant. Went on to have a total of 16 children (with the same husband) of whom 6 had died by 1911.
One son lost in the Battle of the Somme 1916, another later as a result of gassing during WW1.
Ellen died at the age of 77, having been a widow for 25 years.
According to my grandmother, Ellens D-I-L, she was a bit of a battle axe. Do you wonder?

My gr. granny had 13 children; generations before her were always large. Then granny had four ... without too much detail, I wonder how they 'family planned' ... I'm thinking 1900 - 1910 ... were 'rubber goods' invented by then ??

Lol Lydart - maybe they were too expensive tho bringing up children would have been more so
My poor 3 x great grandparents had 15 children, all still living according to the 1911 census and the poor old dad of them all was still working as a dock labourer at the age of 70 and he died at 71! When I moan about being overworked and underpaid I should think of him

The vicar of a mining parish in Warwickshire in about 1913 went to congratulate a parishioner on the birth of their 16th child. He asked what they were calling the baby. "Albert" said the father, to which the mother recoiled in horror and said "Bless 'e, George, we've already got an Albert."
