Not sure of the woman with the most, but Charles Vance Millar, a wealthy Toronto lawyer, bequeathed his estate to whichever woman gave birth to the most babies in the ten-year period following his death. This was during the Great Depression so a lot of women were trying to have as many children as possible. I think there was a tie between four women, each had 9 children during the 10 years. It was called the Stork Derby.

On the news they did a story about a woman who had 21 children. This was several years back, but they thought that she had the most children that had ever been recording. Of course there have been people who have fostered or adopted more than this.

When I was growing up, I knew a lady who had 20 living children and 2 that had died (not sure if they were still born or died in childhood). And no twins, they were all single births.
