My Grandfather was the youngest of 11 children born between 1894 and 1913 and his mother lived to be 81
My grandmother was the youngest of 9 born between1892 and 1910 and her mother lived to be 77
On my Mum's side, my Great grandfather had 13 children 3 to first wife who died young and then 10 to second wife who died aged 91 !!!
My mother in law was 4th of 11 between 1921 and 1936 but her mother died at 51
Hubby's Grandad was eldest of 11 between 1876 and 1892 and his mother's siblings all had families ranging from 6 to 13 children. The 13 were from the same set of parents and she died at 75 and he died at 73
How did they manage to keep living so long?
With all the worry of where the next meal was coming from or clothes I would have been gone well before now I think
