Meet the only family in Britain spanning six generations

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

A family from Yorkshire is thought to be the only one with six generations alive at the same time. There are 47 family members; the eldest is great-great-great grandmother Hilda Hanson, who is 103 and known as “little gran”. The youngest, baby Finley, was born on Christmas Day. Grandmother Sue Godward and her daughter Niki Mellor managed to baffle 5 live’s Eleanor Oldroyd with their confusing family tree. Sue said: “How many siblings in each generation? I’ve got a list!” This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Saturday 21 January 2017.
