Foundation For Large Families




        The Povey Family


        Sue & Ian Povey have 14 children and they all live in a 6 bedroomed, 3 times extended house in a former Railway Town in Wiltshire, England. Their children, 8 girls & 6 boys, range from 15 months to 22 years. Because very large families are quite rare in England, the family is very well known in their home town and regularily are featured in the national newspapers and make appearances on television.

        Sue, a self confessed 'Babyholic', is frustrated at the lack of literature and magazines written especially for large families. So she has taken on the task of writing a newsletter, called "FULL HOUSE" by herself. The publication is aimed at all large families around the world.

        To make the newsletter more interesting, she welcomes contributions from anyone bringing up a large family: to exchange their experiences, to write about your own large families, and exchange news, views and tips.

        She wants to hear how you cope or don't cope, she wants to hear about your funny stories, mishaps & catastrophies! Or if you want to air your grievences about society's 'unfriendly view of large families'. The readers of FULL HOUSE want to hear of other large families' disorganized and choatic lives and be able to identify with it!

        If you would like to contact Sue, or would like to contribute to the newsletter, then you can e-mail her at suepfh@yahoo.co.uk
