Families of Thirty ard Forty Children
Once Common in North Of England.

Tho north of England seems to be
fertile soil for large families, for in

children. all attending the christening
of the thrty-frst child. and in earlier
years another north countrymaH.

In families it is not an unknown thing
for one child to be old enough to have
a sister or brother young enough to be
his or her Sreat-grandchild. Thus the
eldest son of Thomas Beatty, of Drum

birthday when his youngest brother
qualified for the cradle. When William
