The Cuthbert Family
DH [dec at 58]: Edward Andrew Christopher Cuthbert, 3rd Earl of Oakheart
DW [63]: Eleanor Frances Cuthbert “Nell”, 3rd Countess of Oakheart, née Southwell
DS1 [39]: Edward Lawrence Southwell Cuthbert "Ned", 4th Earl of Oakheart (starletinwaiting)
- DW [37]: Octavia Jane Primrose Cuthbert, 4th Countess of Oakheart, née Dorset (eglantine)
-- DS [15]: Ralph Christopher Guy Cuthbert (molly)
-- DD [13]: Ruby Octavia Merab Cuthbert (eglantine)
-- DS [10]: Rufus Valentine Southwell Cuthbert (starletinwaiting)
-- DD [7]:
DD1 [37]: Rose Frances Drusilla Murphy, née Cuthbert (solros)
- DH [59]: Patrick Florian Murphy (Jessamine)
-- DD [9]:
DS2 [35]: James Andrew Algernon Cuthbert (eglantine)
- DW [34]:
-- DS [3]:
Over the past decade, Ned has grown into his role as Earl; his days of debauchery with Prince George - married seven years ago and then estranged from his wife a year later - are quite over, and he spends a great deal of time in the countryside with his family (where his wife and his mother perpetually struggle for control of the household). He and Octavia had one more child, a second daughter who all too often teams up with Rufus to cause as much chaos as two small bodies possibly can. Whenever Rose and Patrick visit, they delight in teaming up with their cousin, the couple’s only child and something of a violin prodigy.
James, finally captain of a ship-of-the-line, also added to the family with his marriage to a dear childhood friend - he hopes that one day their son will serve aboard a ship with him.
Ned and Octavia’s daughter’s first name begins with R (it would be unfair to single her out, they reasoned), her first middle name honours her paternal grandmother, and her second middle name is long and very feminine.
Rose and Patrick’s daughter’s first name is a figure from Greek or Roman mythology, her first middle name is Irish, and her second middle name is one of Rose’s names.
James’ wife’s first name is strongly religious, her first middle name is common, her second middle name is a surname, and her maiden name is 4 letters long. Their son’s first name is ranked 180-200 on this list ( https://www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2018/09/top-200-most-popular-names-in-england-and-wales-in-1840-part-2.html ), his first middle name has religious associations, and his second middle name is a name which has already been used in the extended family.
The Jarvis Family
DH [52]: Peter Jonathan Jarvis
DW [53]: Marguerite Lucille Jarvis “Margot”, née Desrosiers
DD1 [30]: Joy Marguerite Wray, née Jarvis (RowenaRavenclaw)
- DH [36]: Henry Ferdinand James Wray “Hal” (Darkbone)
-- DH’s DD [11]: Letitia Alys Boudicca Wray (Wordsmith)
-- DS [6]:
DD2 [26]: Mercy Geneviève Jarvis (Quicksilver)
- DH [25]:
-- DS/DS [1]:
DD3 [23]: Verity Delphine Jarvis (Darkbone)
- DH [29]:
DS1 [19]: Prosper Constantin Jarvis (Jessamine)
Joy and Hal spent several years caring for Letitia - Joy glad to be able to provide a maternal figure in the girl’s life - before they welcomed a son of their own, an energetic little boy who thinks the world of his older sister.
Mercy’s first years in “society”, spent in London, were rather more successful by Peter and Margot’s measure than her older sister’s. She married the eldest son and heir of a Duke who is a close advisor to the increasingly erratic King George, and a year ago she gave birth to twin boys.
Even the shy and retiring Verity recently found herself a husband, a Welsh physician who holds no title besides that of doctor; her parents permit the union thanks to Mercy’s success in marrying up. To their discontent, however, Prosper has expressed more of an interest in his newest brother-in-law’s career than in Peter’s business, and has been making plans to leave to study medicine in London.
Joy and Hal’s son’s first name is shared with a past king of England, his first middle name (chosen by Letitia) is a diminutive of another name, and his second middle name is one of his father’s names.
Mercy’s husband’s first name is ranked 120-140 on this list ( https://www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2018/09/top-200-most-popular-names-in-england-and-wales-in-1840-part-2.html ), his first middle name is shared with a figure from Ancient Rome, and his second middle name is very common. His surname is from this list ( https://surnames.behindthename.com/names/usage/english/origin/old-french ). Their sons’ first names are somehow connected in meaning, their first middle names begin with the same letter, and their second middle names are both French (at Margot’s insistence, despite the ongoing war with Napoleon).
Verity’s husband’s first name and surname are both Welsh, and he has no middle name.
The Irvine Family
DH [39]: Robert Reginald Angus Irvine
DW [38]: Agnes Irvine, née Macinnes
DS1 [20]: Magnus Duncan Fionn Irvine (Irene)
- DW [22]:
DS2/DS3 [18]: John Asa Domnall Irvine & Jacob Ezra Cailean Irvine (emmalou)
DD1 [15]: Mary Agnes Ealasaid Irvine “Merry” (AhaRememo)
DS4 [12]: Alexander Malcolm Tavish Irvine (eglantine)
DD2 [10]: Augusta Margaret Mòr Irvine (molly)
Following the fiasco with Augusta and her mother, Robert has stuck to his vow to be faithful to Agnes, although whether out of some genuine feeling for her or simply a desire not to be landed with anymore unexpected children she isn’t sure. Their relationship is cordial, although not particularly warm, and Magnus’ recent wedding was the first time in years that they have spent unbroken days in each other’s company. Magnus is an active, energetic young man, and particularly fond of riding - a year ago, he fell from his horse while out unaccompanied and broke a leg. He was rescued, essentially, by the young woman to whom he is now married, the independent-minded daughter of a minor noble. She was the one who asked him to marry her, although he takes care to conceal that fact from his father.
Magnus’ wife’s first name is still popular in Scotland today, and her middle name is three or four letters long. Her maiden name is a Scottish clan ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scottish_clans ).
