151 relatives and counting! Meet Wolverhampton's biggest family

Between them, Burchell and Cynthia Taylor had 13 children, 65 grandchildren, 61 great-grandchildren and 12 great-great grandchildren - a grand total of 153 members of family.

And to celebrate five generations of love and laughter, a huge party was held at Hickman Park in Bilston, with more than 100 relatives attending - some of them meeting for the very first time.

Everyone gathered together to celebrate the legacy of the late Mr Taylor and his 94-year-old wife. But because there are so many family members, they had to dress in colour-coded T-shirts, based on the Jamaican flag, to identify which generation they belonged to.

Children Clarence, 74, Kenneth, 72, Madge, 70, Claudette, 68, Gloria, 65, John, 64, Adrian, 62, Joy, 59, Clive, 58, Carlton, 56, and twins Byron and Dennis, 52, all wore white T-shirts. Another son Glen died in infancy.

The grandchildren had black shirts, the great-grandchildren green and the spouses and partners navy, while other relatives from the extended family had red.

But it was the little great-great grandchildren who stole the show in their white T-shirts - Jayelle, Jasmine, Israel, Lucas and Kenzo, all eight months, and Zayah, five months.

Mr Taylor was a popular property landlord who also owned the haulage business, BL Taylor and Sons and Caribbean Express coaches, running outings to the seaside. He died aged 86 in 2006 in Florida, where he had set up another property venture.

The couple met and married in Hanover, Jamaica, before moving to Wolverhampton in the 1950s, eventually setting up their home and various enterprises in Upper Villiers Street, Blakenhall.

Across the generations, the family now boasts more than six nurses, three solicitors, along with many builders, electricians, musicians, writers, and business owners.

Great-granddaughter Tianna Taylor, aged nine, who attends Elston Primary School, in Fordhouses, said of the party: "It's really fun. We've been taking lots of photos in the park and dancing to music. It's nice to see all my family and some of my cousins who I haven't met before."
