I don't mean to sound argumentative, but am I correct in saying you have 19 children listed for this couple over a 39 year span? I didn't notice any multiple births and being a woman, I sort of doubt one woman gave birth over a 39 year span of her life. If the woman started giving birth at age 12, that would make her 51 by the time she stopped, I don't much think so. I've compared child bearing years over my years of research, and 30 years, I think, would be stretching it a bit. There comes a time in a woman's life when there are no more years to bear children due to her biological clock winding down. And on top of that, according to her year of birth, she would have been in her 60's by the time she finished bearing children. I don't mean to be argumentative, but I think the children of this couple needs some more research. Just my opinion.
