Dundee parents of Scotland’s biggest family on life after leaving ‘cult’ – and ‘chaos’ of having 13 kids
Published By admin with Comments 0
As Scotland’s biggest family, the Hanns are no strangers to the spotlight.
Emma and Roy are parents to 13 children.
The huge family starred in BBC documentary Scotland’s Biggest Families in 2022, and they’re well-kent faces wherever they go.
Emma and Roy, both 55, were brought up in the Mormon faith and were encouraged not to delay having kids.
It’s gone midday when I catch up with the couple on Zoom.
I hear dogs barking in the background, and voices drift from another room. This is a busy household!
The couple’s bumper brood includes Rachel, 33, Sophia, 32, Polly, 30, Charlotte, 29, Alice, 26, Annabelle, 24, Jennifer, 22, Isabella, 21, Jonas, 19, Enos, 17, Eva, 15, Posy 14, and Meg, 10.
Only the five youngest children still live in the Hann’s six-bedroom semi-detached house in the Charleston area of Dundee.
But the others frequently pop in, some dropping off their dogs to be “babysat”.
“Sophia’s away to take the youngest one to the park, Eva’s gone to Easter school, and Enos, Jonas and Posy are in their beds,” Emma tells me.
“Charlotte starts work at 4pm but she’s hanging out here for a bit.
“Polly lives in Dollar with her two little boys, Rachel lives near Livingston, and Annabelle lives in Edinburgh.
“She’s just finished her nursing degree and she’s moving back to Dundee for a job.”
