One of my husband's ancestors had 14 children in the early/mid 1800s --the first when she was 20, then at fairly regular intervals but the last 5 (including a set of triplets) were born when she was between the ages of 41 and 45

Do you have siblings for the Agnes born 1741 Martinhoe?

I see on the 1766 Marriage a witness was Anthony Geen.
(FreeREG)

A Berry Anthony Geen married Elizabeth Hoyls 17 Jun 1759 Martinhoe
(Anc)

So could Berry Anthony be a sibling of Agnes?

I've just run a query on my tree. Out of 388 females who had children, eight were over 45 at the birth of their last child; four were 46, two 47, and one each at 48 and 49.
