This is hard to say because there was a much a higher infant mortality rate then!. Women would get pregnant more frequently but there were higher incidents of children during during or after birth and as infants!. Going by my own family tree the average is 6 children but many families had 12 or more!. There were also class issues and religious issues - richer people had smaller families generally!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
