Meet the only family in Britain spanning six generations

A family from Yorkshire is thought to be the only one with six generations alive at the same time.

There are 47 family members; the eldest is great-great-great grandmother Hilda Hanson, who is 103 and known as 鈥渓ittle gran鈥�.

The youngest, baby Finley, was born on Christmas Day.

Grandmother Sue Godward and her daughter Niki Mellor managed to baffle 5 live鈥檚 Eleanor Oldroyd with their confusing family tree.

Sue said: 鈥淗ow many siblings in each generation? I鈥檝e got a list!鈥�
