the readers of your Magazine to recent

Of the above forty-eight perfons, nine- 
teen were males, and twenty-nine females, 
of the latter, only one 1s mentioned as not 
having been'marriet: forty were at the 
time of their deceafe, inhabitants of 
England and Wales; two of Scotland

probable that nearly the whole number 
in the lift were perfons who had been

fourteen children, Walliam Marchant 
was the father of nineteen children, and 
Samuel Gritlths the father of twenty-five 
children. | ieee:

four inftances in which this appears to 
have been the cafe. “Andrew Frater had
