Hi,
My Grandfather, William Savage, was born 24 Sept 1833, married 1859, had 9 children by his first wife. Following her death in 1894, he married again in 1898 and had 3 children by his second wife. My father, born 1899, was the first of these.
Dad married in 1936 and my elder brother born in 1940, followed by me in 1945.
My father also had a sister who had 6 children, 5 of whom are still alive.
This means that there are a total of 7 of us who meet your criteria.
Regards,
Tecwyn Savage
