HERE come the girls... and they just keep on coming .

From 88-year-old Anne Poledniok to three-month-old Grace Judd, there are now five generations of females in one family.

The Canvey family’ s remarkable tale begins 89 years ago with Anne Poledniok, who represents the first generation.

Her daughter, Gwenda Leggett, 65, forms the second generation.

Generation number three comes in the form of Gwenda’s daughter, Anita Phillips, 44.

Anita’s daughter Natalie Phillips, 24, is the family’ s fourth generation.

Finally, Natalie’s three month old baby daughter , Grace, makes up the famous five .

Natalie who works at the First Class Day Nursery, in Benfleet, said: “I’ve neve r heard of anybody with five generations still alive .

“I didn’t knowIwas having a girl until the birth, so it wa s a nice surprise.”

Anita, a barmaid on the island, said: “It’s lovely t o have all of us together, Grace is gorgeous and starting to take notice of everything around her now. I was so happy the pregnancy fell while my Nan is still alive.”

Girl power is clearly the dominant gene in the family.

And Anita confesses her son and two brothers are very much outnumbered as girlpower rules the family roost.
