Ann Sackett
(1779-aft 1851)

Ann Sackett|b. 1779\nd. aft 1851|p7724.htm|John Sackett|b. 1743\nd. 1827|p5896.htm|Catherine Andrews|b. c 1753\nd. 1831||Henry Sackett|b. 1710/11\nd. 1790|p4803.htm|Elizabeth Clifford|b. c 1709\nd. 1786||||||||
Father John Sackett (1743-1827)
Mother Catherine Andrews (c 1753-1831)

Ann Sackett, daughter of John Sackett and Catherine Andrews, was born in St Peter in Thanet, Kent, on 19 December 17791 and baptized at St Peter's Church on 2 January 1780.1 She died after 1851. She married in Ash next Sandwich, Kent, on 12 October 1797, John Cook.2
Ann and John had a record number of twenty-one children, and the feat was recorded by Peter Laslett in The World We Have Lost: "The child-producing record amongst women known to historical demographers is at present shared between the wife of a solicitor of Geneva who had 21 births in the late 17th century and a girl from Kent, Ann Sackett, who was born in 1799 at Ash in that county. At 18 she married John Cook, a labourer there. By 1823 they had had 21 children at 20 births, and Ann was still alive in 1851."
