A loving family is celebrating after their newest arrival marks the fifth generation of women.
Maeve Marie Barrington, aged just three weeks, is the youngest arrival in the fifth generation of girls. The family, from Kirkby, have now all been pictured together for the first time as they welcome the newest addition.
The youngster is joined by her mum Shayla Thomas, 21, who now lives in Wirral, nan Claire Curran, 41, great-nan Margaret Dalton, 63, and great-great nan Marie Smith, aged 91. With almost 92 years from youngest to oldest, the family said they are all "best friends" and were all "lovely surprises".
