A nan who joked "no one has a bigger family in Merseyside than me" still buys everyone a birthday and Christmas present.
Eleanor Dougherty, known as 'Nellie', is approaching her 91st birthday later this year. Nellie has long joked with her family that she has the biggest family in Merseyside.
At the most recent count Nellie has a family tree of over 150 family members including 93 great-grandchildren and 15 great great-grandchildren. And the 90-year-old, described by family members as "the most loving and caring person you could ever meet", still buys every member of her family and all their partners a present on their birthdays and at Christmas.
