Four Generations Both Sides At Woolsery

The day after her christening, baby, Carol Ann, daughter of Mr and Mrs D Stevens, of Hurley Meadow, Woolsery, is still the centre of attention for the family and what a huge family she has can be seen above.

The picture includes her parents grandparents and all but one of her eight great-grand-parents which makes Carole really important as the fourth generation on each side of the family.

Carol’s parents, Mr and Mrs D Stevens, are seen in the centre of the back row and on Mrs Stevens’ right is her grandmother, Mrs Lewis, of Stibb Cross, and on the left of the back row are her mother and father, Mr and Mrs T Gill, of Hele, Bradworthy. Mrs Stevens’ grandparents on her father’s side, Mr and Mrs B Gill, of The Village, Monkleigh, are seated in the front row with Mrs Gill holding the baby.

To the right of Carol’s father are his parents, Mr and Mrs H Stevens, of High Park, Woolsery, and on the extreme right of the picture are his mother’s parents, Mr and Mrs Cann, who live with their daughter at High Park. Seated on the left of the front row are Carol’s other great-grandparents, Mr and Mrs A Stevens, of Ashmansworthy, Woolsery, the parents of Mr H Stevens.
