Nancy Bligh was born October 25th, 1954 in Paterson, New Jersey to Elizabeth Anne Gormley and Edward Bligh. When Elizabeth gave birth to her third child Nancy, she immediately felt like she was going into labor again. To everyone’s amazement, she gave birth again to a fourth child! Sadly, when she asked the doctor what the gender of the other child was, the doctor said, â€Å"You don’t need to know that. You just gave birth to a healthy baby girl. That is all you need to know.† Back then the doctors did not have to tell you everything they tell you know.
