FAMILIES OF oLDEN DAYS.
Often Remarkably Large According to
the Authentic Records.

From INT Bus.
The north of England seems to be a fer
tile soil for large families, for in 1877 we
read of a Cumberland man and his wife,
accompanied by thirty of their children
all attending the christening Of the thirty

north countryman, Thomas Greenhill, ap-

There are cases on record where cen
fury or more has divided the wedding days
of father and son. The first earl of Lelces-
ter was first married in 1775, and his
son led his second wife to the altar in Au-
gust, 1875: while Capt. Francis Maude, VINO
was married June %, 1S49 was follow
ing.the example of his father, Lord Hawar-
den, had set him ninety-threeiyea earlier,
in 1856. But both these cases are quite
eclipsed by that of Gen. G. Stevenson OF
Bristol, who was united to his third wife
in 1884 at the age OF eighty-tYo, and whose
father was first wed in 17O4. the year of
Blenheim This seeming impossibiity is
accounted for by the fact that the father.
who was born in 1885, was married for the
third time at the age of seventy, and the
general was the son of this late union.
Thus we get the remarkable result of a
man whose father was born in Charles lis
reign woong and wedding within the MEM
ory of many people still living
