The Cray Family Robinson.
Five Generations of the Cray family Robinson celebrated Jessie Robinson's 90th birthday last Saturday.
The gathering of the clan came at a mass party at St Mary Cray Village Hall.
Mrs Robinson, of Derry Downs, St Mary Cray said:
"It was quite incredible. It was the first time in years that I had seen the whole family together. People came from all over the country."
More than 150 turned up at the party...the youngest was a great-great-grandchild just two weeks old.
A GRAND TIME.
Mrs Robinson, who has been a St Mary Cray resident for 46 years, said: "We all had such a grand time that we may do it all again next year. I had lots of lovely presents, including a musical birthday card which played Happy Birthday."
Not all the relatives could make it though and one absentee sent a telegram from Spain to say congratulations.
For the statisticians, this is Mrs Robinson's family breakdown of the younger generations;
31 grandchildren,
4 great-grandchildren and
two great-great-grandchildren.
But after all the excitement at the party there was no resting for Mrs Robinson on Monday: "I am much too young for that," she said, "I washed all the tablecloths instead."
