Okay I think that I can't quite beat that but almost. I come from a 
family of four, I have three brothers (worse luck for me!)
Brother no.1 born 10th April 78
I was born 10th March 84 (6 months later our parents split up).
Then in 30th April 98 brother no. 2 was born!
And 5th Feb 2000 brother no. 3 was born.

So twenty years and twenty days between brother 1 and 2! And almost 
twenty-two years between 1 and 3. And our mum's only 41, she's been a 
mother for twenty-three years! So that's an example of a more modern 
family (different dad for the youngest two). So a nine year gap is 
really nothing. Maybe Mr and Mrs Weasley were quite young when they 
had Bill and Charlie, so decided to wait a while before they had more 
children.
