A couple from Lancashire, UK who have created Britain’s largest family have welcomed their 22nd child amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

The couple are yet to pick a name for their latest addition who has become their 11th daughter.

‘I was so worried that Noel wouldn’t be allowed to stay with me.
‘It was the strangest birth yet but by the end of it I would say it was actually one of the best experiences I have had.
‘We can’t settle on a name we all like but we can’t register her now anyway because of corona.’
It is a legal requirement for parents to register a birth and should be done 42 days after a baby is born. Typically, this is would be done at a registry office in the district where the child is born and made in person either by one or both parents.
But authorities have currently postponed all registrations for the foreseeable future as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.

Counting the fact that Sue suffered the heartbreak of a stillbirth back in 2014 when she was 21 weeks pregnant, she has now spent more than 800 weeks of her life pregnant.
The couple’s other children are Christopher, 30, Sophie, 26, Chloe, 24, Jack, 22, Daniel, 21, Luke, 19, Millie, 18, Katie, 17, James, 16, Ellie, 15, Aimee, 14, Josh, 12, Max, 11, Tillie, nine, Oscar, eight, Casper, seven, Alfie, five, Hallie, four, Phoebe, three, Archie, two, and Bonnie, 17 months.

Their first-born Christopher is now 30 and has two children of his own, while eldest daughter Sophie, 26, is the mother of three kids.
The family’s latest arrival was born at Royal Lancaster Infirmary.
