A Labour Of Love
2 Answers
This came up in a quiz yesterday
- The world record for having the most number of children officially recorded is 69 by the first of two wives of Feodor Vassilyev (1707-1782), a peasant from Shuya, 150 miles east of Moscow. In 27 confinements, she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets. The children were born between 1725-1765.
This would be incredible in the Modern age - Never mind in the 18th century .
But is it really true - do you think it is ?
