They were very similar to families nowadays. Perhaps they kept closer to cousins and other extended family. Divorce was unheard of, and single-parent families didn't happen as they do in North America. But on the other hand, a married couple like the Shakespeares might actually live apart for economic reasons and in such cases women like Anne Shakespeare were for all intents and purposes single mothers. The same applied to wives of sailors and ship captains who were usually at sea far from their families.
The family relations of the Queen Elizabeth of England is referred to as royal. Her sons are called princes while her daughters are called princesses.
all i know is the husbandmen sat at the head of the table
8-13 members was the typical family size in the Elizabethen era. Shakespear's family contained 8 children and two parents. Hope this helps :)

Women had to have many qualities, one of which being that they had to be obedient, have responsibility to look after the children and be a good wife. If you want to learn more about the women in this time just go to elizabethan-era.org.uk/elizabethan-women.htm or elizabethi.org/us/women/ :)
Elizabethan woman had a lot of children because many of the babies died young because of sickness and other things. Even with a lot of child births not all families were large. It was also considered a great honor for a woman to give birth. Also there was no reliable form of contraception so women usually became pregnant frequently.
To my knowledge no one has ever managed to account for them all.
In the Elizabethan times, marriage was considered more as a business arrangement than a love relationship. The women had very little choice in husbands, and marriages were arranged by their families in order to provide and/or retain wealth between the families. Poor women could sometimes choose their spouses because there was no wealth involved. In the arranged marriages, young men and women often did not meet their spouses until their wedding day.
That would have been extremely rare, after all a joust was pubic affair and honor was most important.
in Elizabethan times England had a population of nearly 5 million.
In most cases, slave families were not kept together. Many times the husbands were separated from the wife and children.

Everyone that was executed in Elizabethan times bled. Most of the executions in Elizabethan time was done by beheading, which meant that they would have head cut off so therefore they would bleed.
Only one, the first Globe which was built in 1599. It existed in Elizabethan times for only four years, until Elizabeth died in 1603.
Fertility was at a rate of 2.07 in 2011 so most families average at about 2 children.
In colonial times, many families required the children to stand while the adults sat and ate their meal. Older children were quickly expected to complete adult chores and were held accountable.
Depends on how many children they have.
Poor families needed the money.
