Couple welcomes family’s first daughter in 130 years

When Andrew Clark’s wife, Carolyn, was delivered of baby Audrey on March 17, she was the first girl in his family since 1885 — all of 130 years.

Carolyn revealed they were shocked when they learned they would be having a baby girl, having been left stunned when her husband revealed his family’s unique gender history.

In the report by MailOnline, she explained she first discovered that Andrew’s family hadn’t had a girl in over 130 years when they were dating.

She added that when Andrew initially told her the story, she didn’t believe him.

‘I’m like, “Oh, it’s a 50-50 chance every time. What do you mean?”

‘He goes, “No, legitimately, we have not had a girl in our direct line in over 100 years,”‘ Carolyn recalled.

The mom-of-two then even asked his parents to confirm the story.

Andrew’s family told her that they ‘hadn’t had a girl in our direct line’, explaining that while his ‘uncles and cousins have had girls’, there has not been a girl in his lineage.

Welcoming the first daughter in 14 decades was even sweeter because Carolyn tragically suffered a miscarriage in January 2021.

She noted that when they learned she was expecting she was just overjoyed to be having a healthy baby and didn’t care if it was a boy or girl.

Carolyn added: ‘It was just icing on the cake that it was a girl.’
