God bless my petite auburn-haired mother who weighed all of 85 pounds.
I've been trying to make up for it ever since.

she was a hero..

I weighed in at an average 7lbs a few years later in Wells, Somerset.

Re: Where were you born?
I heard this tale when I was a child, it still amuses me. My grandfather, who was a farmer, employed a man whose wife seemed to produce children on a regular basis, weighing about14 or 15lbs! He apologised to my grandfather for being late to work one day, he said his wife had just had another baby, but the poor little child was so small, only 11lbs.
