Hannah, Matthew and Laura Innoles.

Born in 1991, Laura is the eldest member of her generation. (Previous generations had 'started' in 1906, 1935 and 1962.)

She holds the record for the earliest attendance at a family gathering - just 17 days old!

Bristol, 2001

Nicole Freeman

For seven months the youngest member of the family and 4xgt-granddaughter of the man in the pig picture.

Bristol, 2003

For four months the newest member of the family, and the tenth member of his generation: Christian Duncan Moir.

In the infamous family numbering system Christian became F17!

Here he is, with his sisters and cousins, in a 'Canadian' ladder photograph.

Daisy Hannah is my eleventh first cousin twice removed. For four months she was the latest of the new arrivals.

(Note the size of her father's hand!)

London (England), December 2003

Luke Richard Brinkworth (known before his birth as D12!), with his (very) proud parents: Martin Luke and Sharon. For four months he, too, was the latest of the new arrivals.

Marlow, April 2004

Adam ("We're still choosing a middle name") Stanley with his Mom, Louise Stanley née Shakespeare, and Dad Dylan. My fourteenth first cousin twice removed, born on 18th February 2007.

That middle name? Geraint!

February, 2007

My fifteenth first-cousin-twice-removed, Samuel George Brinkworth, arrived exactly three years after his brother Luke. That has to be some sort of record!

Number sixteen, Joshua Daniel Williams, was born in June 2007 in London.

My seventeenth first cousin twice removed, Alex Harry Freeman, arrived safely on 25th November 2008 in Bristol. He is the first child of Mike and Jo.

November, 2008

Alex was followed, on 23rd July 2009, by his cousin Lily Grace Freeman. She is the first child of Jonathan and Lucy, and a seventh grandchild for my eldest cousin, John Freeman. Her great-grandmother was named Lilian.

Bristol, July, 2009

The occasion of a cousin's (delayed) 65th birthday celebrations afforded an introduction to his newest granddaughter, Isabella Couper. Here she is (Left) with her second cousin, Caleb Betteridge.

They are, respectively, my twentieth and nineteenth first-cousins-twice-removed.

This is my twenty first first-cousin-twice removed, Hannah Louise Stanley, sporting the Shakespeare family red hair!

And here is number 22, Alex Bickley, and what a lovely little fella he is!

The second Alex of his generation

Somewhere in England, 11th April, 2011

Now they are coming thick and fast! This is number 23, Owen George Freeman, born 12 ^th May 2011.

Bristol

Thomas Leslie Stenton, born 3^rd November 2011, is probably the 'remotest' relation so far: my third second-cousin-twice-removed!

He has the same name as his Shakespeare great-grandfather. If he is half as funny and half as nice he will do very well in life.
