Help[Games] Victorian Era Generational CAF - Part 1
The Victorian era was a period in British history running from 1837 to 1901. This generational CAF will follow one family in Victorian (London, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Bristol) throughout this era. You may give each member of the family as many or as few middle names as you like.
DH is a somewhat self-important but very talented blacksmith and farrier (maker of horseshoes) living in CITY. In 1826, at the age of 22, he meets 20-year-old DW, a physician's daughter, and they fall in love quickly. The two are fairly well-off and get married in 1827. The two purchase a modest yet beautiful home in the city. During the day, DW mends clothing items for a small fee and attends teas in the afternoon with several good friends of hers. Only a year after their marriage, DW gives birth to a beautiful baby boy with curly brown hair.
DH (1804): Achilles, Arthur, Atreus, Caesar, Caradoc, Charles, Cyrillus, Hector, John, Malcolm, Mycroft (LN: Griffiths, Carter, Turner, Shaw, Thornton)
DW (1805): Adamantine, Bethia, Clothilde, Diana, Drusilla, Edwina, Ermengarde, Ethelred, Fawzia, Jean, Margaret, Morgana (LN: Ward, White, Baker, Harris, Hill)
DS1 (1828): Aeneas, Archibald, Darius, Friso, Harry, Hye, James, Ludwig, Nehemias, Phillip, Princeton, Robert, Septimus
A year after DS1's birth, DW finds out she is pregnant once again. In the spring of 1830, DH and DW welcome DS2, their second son. DS2 is such a happy, easy baby, and both parents are thrilled. Shortly after his birth, DW's mother falls ill and passes away. The family mourns - DW was especially fond of her mother and misses her dearly. DW's father is also grieved and moves to CITY to be nearer to his daughter, DW, his only surviving child. He becomes a household presence and a wonderful grandfather to DS1 and DS2.
DS2 (1830): Albany, Alexander, Andrew, Archie, Cassander, Clovis, Demosthenes, Duncan, Hugh, John, Octavius, Washington
Over the next few years, DW gives birth to another healthy baby, a girl. They. name her DD1. The family is thrilled - they feel complete with so many children in their home, even though money has become a little more tight as the children have aged. DW begins dressmaking in the family's attic to earn a little extra money, and in 1837, she becomes pregnant again, this time with twins. The birth process is arduous, but DW eventually gives birth to two small babies, a boy and a girl. DW never fully recovers from the birth and passes away three months later. The family is devastated and ten-year-old DS1 leaves school to begin peddling newspapers on the street.
DD1 (1832): Adeliza, Charlotte, Christina, Donata, Elizabeth, Emerentiana, Esther, Eugenie, Grace, Mary, Morrigan, Sarah
DD2 (1838): Alcesta, Alice, Anne, Esmeralda, Effie, Euphemia, Helen, Hortense, Isabeau, Kate, Lilibet, Queenie, Morwenna
DS3 (1838): Albion, Arduin, Devereux, Emeric, George, Gratian, Hadrian, Leonidas, Kenneth, Michael, Miles, Neil, Orestes
DS1 is, at 14, apprenticed to his father and begins work as a blacksmith. The other children attend school. In 1852, DS1 marries his childhood friend, DW. He now co-owns the blacksmith shop with his father, who is getting older and finds it harder to work. DH and DW have only one child together: a brilliant and evidently intelligent girl named DD. DH sends his daughter to a special girls' boarding school to learn mathematics and science. She thrives there and develops an interest in chemistry. When she graduates, she begins reading scientific journals and is apprenticed to a scientist and professor in Cologne, Germany, who is willing to allow her to use his laboratory. She becomes heavily influential in the sphere of science, despite her gender, publishing most of her findings under her professor's name.
DH (1828):
DW (1827): Allina, Ambrosina, Caley, Esperanza, Hedy, Margaret, Marjorie, Mary Ann, Narcissa, Prudence, Radia, Serene (LN: Jackson, Wood, Wright, Williams, Price)
DD (1857): Anchoretta, Annabella, Casimira, Chastity, Enid, Etheldreda, Frances, Ida, Julia, Lillian, Maggie, Marguerite, Pacifica, Pandora
At the age of 30, DD marries prominent German physicist DH. They move to Austria and have four children together.
DW (1857):
DH (1852): Wilhelm, Otto, Bernd, Heinrich, Friedrich, Walther, Paul, Wolfgang, Hans, Gustav, Karl, Max, Ernst (LN: Becker, Hoffmann, Schulz, Pichler, Bauer)
DD1 (1890): Abrina, Andromeda, Ann, Ellen, Elsa, Erna, Hope, Jane, Louisa, Margarete, Mary, Petronilla, Purity, Sarah, Sophia
DS (1895): Almeric, Charles, Constantine, Dewey, Dryden, Harry, Hermann, Klaus, Manfred, Noble, Thomas, Valor, William
DD2 (1897): Aramantha, Blanche, Berta, Charity, Clarissa, Eurania, Faith, Frieda, Georgiana, Grace, Irene, Jemima, Martha, Philadelphia
DD3 (1900): Artemisia, Bella, Emary, Emma, Eusebia, Flora, Honor, Maria, Marie, Mercy, Obedience, Rowena, Willamina
