Meet woman who has 150 Children, Grandchildren & Great-Grandchildren

Meet a 88-year-old woman who was told that she would never ever be able to carry a baby now has more than 150 children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, Bristol, England, UK. Emma Derric struggled to recover from rheumatic fever throughout her childhood and was told having children would be too dangerous.

But Mrs Derrick defied the odds and now she has 14 children, at least 46 grandchildren, 90 great-grandchildren and three great great-grandchildren.

The current total is 153, her children and grandchildren range in age from Royston, who is 67, to the latest addition, who is almost one. Speaking about her big family Mrs Derrick said, “When I was a teenager, he doctor told me if I managed to have one baby then I could have a dozen. I kept him to his word.

We weren’t actively trying to defy doctors, it just happened. They are all miracles. I prayed for a baby and it was answered. It can be tough keeping track of everyone but I do love them all. I wouldn’t change any of them. Having family around you is the most important thing in life.”
A year ago we featured a story about the man who has 39 wives, 94 children, 14-daughters-in-law and 33 grandchildren. They live in a 100-room, four storey house, where the wives sleep in giant communal dormitories.
