The Barrett family has two parents and nine kids aged
between five and 27. Ann and William, 51, still live in the house they bought
as a young couple. The family, from Wembley, North London, have never claimed
child benefits. People often wrongly assume that they are a ‘blended family’
and their nine children are the result of a complex web of current and previous
relationships. Sometimes they make the mistake of thinking the youngest two,
Bessie, seven, and Johnboy, five, are Ann and William’s grandchildren and one
of their adult daughters is their mother. But, a rarity these days, all nine
children have the same very happily married mum and dad, who both work to
support their family without relying on any state benefits.

From left to right:
Louis 13, Oliver 21, Kitty 18, Florence 23, William (dad) 51, Livvy 27,
Maitilde 19, Malachy 15. Front Row, Bessie 7, Ann (mum) 51 & Johnboy, five.
I think they should be named Britain’s unique family.
