A family from West Yorkshire is believed to be the first in Britain to have six generations alive at the same time.
The Hanson family from Bradford has 44 living members ranging from the oldest, aged 103, to the most recent arrival, born on Christmas Day.
Baby Finley is the great-great-great-grandson of the matriarch of the tribe, Hilda Hanson, known affectionately as “little gran”.
Talking to BBC Radio 5 Live on Saturday, Finley’s great-grandmother Sue Godward, 62, said: “When Finley was born, my daughter Nikki and Melissa, my other daughter, started researching big generation families and they could not find anybody else in Britain with six generations living. Nobody else has come forward with six generations.”
They located one in Alberta, Canada, who last month celebrated the arrival of the sixth generation of their family. The Guinness World Records entry for most living generations is seven, achieved in 1989 by a family in the US.
