Four generations of one family

[ann255]

My mum used to love telling people when we were out with my daughter and her daughter - there are 4 generations here.  Have several photos of mum, me, daughter and grandaughters.
Mum is sadly no longer around, but I now have a great grandson - so must get a photo taken of the latest 4 generations.

I have a pic of me as a baby being held by my great grandmother, with my mother and grandmother standing next to us. Great gran died when I was 2 years old so I can't remember her, hence the photo is very precious.

I also have a pic of my mother, my sister and I, my sister's son and his baby daughter.

And this week the lovely photo of Prince George's christening with the Queen, her son, grandson and great-grandson.

No photo - but I do have a census entry with four generations present at the same time (and the youngest is NOT an infant, either ... )

We have a 5 (although it's only 4 in my direct family - all female)
My nan (gr, gr grandmother), my aunt (gr, gr grandmother), my cousin (grandmother), her daughter (mother) and her son (child)

Also grew up as a 4 generation as was 12 when my great grandfather died

Never saw 4 generations as being that unusual tbh I suppose it's one of the benefits of growing up in a family who have children in their early 20s

We did have 5 generations all eldest girls aswell (until my great nan died last year)...that was my great nan, her eldest child (my nan), her eldest child (my mom), me (eldest child) and my daughter (also eldest child) x

I have a photo of 5 generations of our family - it was shown on RC about 3 years ago having gained the required permission from the people concerned

It shows my Mother (now nearly 95yrs old), her niece, gt niece, gtgt nephew and gtgtgt niece! I was able to gather them all together at a family wedding

I think you are lucky to have an older photo of 5 generations...4 is the norm I think as people didn't live as long as they do today...I have seen 6 generations in the local paper but you often find that in these instances the ladies were more often quite young when they became Mothers.
