_Mother of Thirty Children._--An instance has come under my notice of a
woman, whose maiden name was Lee, born in Surrey; married, first, Berry,
with whom she lived thirty years, and had twenty-six children (four times
twins): all survived infancy. Married, secondly, Taylor, by whom she had
four children. Died at Stratford, aged eighty-four. Within a few weeks of
her death, was as upright as a young woman. At the time of her death, there
were one hundred and twenty-two of her descendants living. She lived most
of her married life near Whitechapel and Radcliffe, and was buried in the
Brickfield burying-ground. She had sixteen boys and fourteen girls.
