British Newborn Joins Family of Hearty Women Spanning Six Living Generations
DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: A newborn child in Britain is getting plenty of attention. She's the newest member in a family of hearty women spanning six living generations. Eric McGuiness (ph) introduces us to all of them, from the youngest to the oldest.</s>ERIC MCGUINESS, ITN-TV REPORTER (voice-over): Fallen Wittsworth (ph) is two weeks old and the youngest. Ethel Hill is 100 and she is the oldest. They may be separated by a century in years, but, together, they help to make up six living generations of the same family. And while Fallen (ph) is naturally getting all the fuss expected from mum Emma, waiting in line is Grandma Jane, Great Grandma Carol, Great Great Grandma Eva, and, of course, Great Great Great Grandma Ethel, believed to be the only one of her kind in the country.</s>ETHEL HILL, GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER: I didn't expect to live to be 100 anyway, but I'm very pleased.</s>MCGUINESS: It was a tough winter for Ethel, despite receiving a telegram from the Queen, she was struck low with a festive flu and Fallen was three weeks late arriving. But, in this family, they believe the secret to a long life is being together.</s>CAROLE JONES, GREAT GRANDMOTHER: We didn't realize that it was six generations. You know, we were just hoping that Nan would make 100 and then the baby would be born and she would see the baby.</s>MCGUINESS: Ethel shouldn't be short of a story to tell her great great great granddaughter. Mind you, she will have to join the queue for babysitting duties. There are already three grands in line. Eric McGuiness, ITN.
