One of my great-great grandmothers was the 6th daughter of eight girls and also had a stillborn twin.
Six out of the eight lived to adulthood and two died during childhood.
She also had 3 half-sisters and 2 half-brothers from her father's first marriage!
She would go on to have 12 children herself, 4 boys and 2 girls in her first marriage and 4 girls and 2 boys in the second marriage.
