A grandmother from Falmouth organised a family reunion for her entire family, and so many people turned up that they had to wear name tags.

Site supervisor Susan Kellow, 54, comes from a large family with pockets of relatives scattered throughout the world, and gatherings are rare.

One set of cousins from Norway come over each year, and earlier this year one relative asked Susan just how big the family was, so she decided to do some digging.

Susan soon discovered over 250 family members who had all descended from the same couple, Mary and John Henry Webb, spanning just four generations.

Mary and John lived on Acacia Road and had nine children, who then had 50 children between them, and those 50 then had 118 children between them, who then in turn had 98 children.

Susan then set about tracking down the family members and invited each she found to a special reunion, held in Kimberley Park.

Around 90 people, from two-weeks-old to 77-years-old, attended the reunion, which was held on Saturday, July 15.

Susan said: “This was the first one we have organised, I decided to get all of my relatives from all over the world to come.

“There was 19 that came over from Norway, and I had some come from Portsmouth, Teignmouth, and of course Falmouth.

“I hadn’t met some of them, we had about 90 people there roughly, I didn’t have enough time to count everyone.

“I had to give out stickers and a pen for people to write their names down.

“They all wore a name badge with their name and who they were related to.

“It really helped on the day, it was amazing how many people had the same names – there were so many Stevens and Daniels, it was just endless.

“I’m from a family of six girls, and between us we have 18 children and 24 grandchildren, it’s fascinating to see the whole family.

“It all comes from my grandparents, it’s quite a lot to come from just two people.

“We had the reunion on Kimberley Park, there was nowhere else big enough really. We took up all the parking spaces around the park.

“It was quite a dull day to begin with but then the sun same out and it felt like the relatives that have passed away were watching out for us and were happy that we all got together.”
