SAEDNEWS: A Couple from Lancashire, England, Had Their 22nd Child Over 30 Years of Marriage; Sue Was 7 and Noel 11 When They Met, and Had Their First Child Seven Years Later; Married in 1993 Before Noel Underwent Contraceptive Surgery
A couple from Lincolnshire, England, have welcomed their 22nd child, making the newborn their eleventh daughter, according to Saed News’ society service. The parents, Sue Radford, 44, and her husband Noel, 48, shared the moment of birth on YouTube. The mother admitted in a video before delivery that the labor, which lasted over ten hours, was extremely long and difficult. Fortunately, both mother and child are in perfect health.
The couple has not yet chosen a name for their newest daughter. Although registering a newborn’s name is a legal requirement in England, all registration centers have been closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the Daily Mail, the couple met when Sue was seven and Noel was eleven and had their first child seven years later. They married in 1993 and, before Noel underwent a contraceptive operation, had nine children. They then resumed having children, with the most recent prior to this week’s birth being in 2018.
