A FAMILY from Hawarden that spans five generations were delighted to introduce the newest member of the family to the oldest.
Brody Joshua Paul Parkinson, who is less than a month old, featured in this Tuesday’s edition of the Leader (August 13) as part of the ‘New Arrivals’ feature.
The baby boy was born on July 22 at 5.19pm to proud parents Ellie-Rose Smith and Mike Parkinson.
Brody is brother to Layla Parkinson, aged six, and weighed 7lb 8oz.
Speaking about meeting her great great grandson, Elsie said: "I am truly blessed to be a Great Great Nana to a beautiful little boy and didn’t think I’d be around to watch my Great Grandchildren have their own children.”
Mum-of-two Ellie-Rose added: "It is not always the case that a baby is born with a great great grandparent. To be apart of a 5 generation family is great, after my family losing my brother at a very young age, it is nice for them all to come together and celebrate a little boy again."
