First apologies to Steve Vander Ark for getting him  mixed up with Steve
Bates in attributing the lexicon. I can only blame lack of sleep and VDU
eyes especially as it was written down in front of me.  I wish I could say
I'd caught up on the sleep but I'm afraid I've only OD'd on caffeine.

I have thought more on the subject, borrowed my sisters books ( well
technically I took them without consent as she was still at school but I did
leave a note.) and read all the responses and I'm still convinced Charlie
must have left school in 1984. Thus giving him an aproximate birthdate of
1969.

I don't think money can have been the reason the Weasleys waited after all
they are still financially insolvent. It is possible there are some missing
Weasleys but umless there were miscarriges surely Ron would know, as even if
his parents didn't talk about it Bill and Charlie would know. If older
Weasley kids died rather than neonates surely it would also have been common
knowledge in the wizarding world.

Although I'm going to contadict myself slightly here as I know siblings
don't always talk about the death of siblings. Certainly my brother and
sister are unaware of the baby that died between them and I never mention it
to them because my father doesn't like it mentioned, only Mum and I ever
talk about it.

I was wondering if maybe Molly was somehow involved in the fight against
Voldemort and so deliberately postponed babies, then Percy happened
accidentally. Once she was at home with one baby there may not have been any
reason not to have anymore. Just a suggestion.
