Helpbananarama's KUY Congrats - Sign-ups and Round 1
Caro's congrats was really fun, so I decided to do my own again. It will start in 1900 and will most likely end in 1975.
Rules:
- Feel free to use nicknames.
- Names are your choice for the entire game, but try to make them believable, i.e. I don't recommend you use names like Nevaeh or Brayden. You don't have to use musty outdated names, though.
- Do not hyperlink.
- There may be events in later rounds.
- IMPORTANT: Write a brief summary on the couple.
It is the year 1900 and you have had your first child (gender is your choice).
Fill out the sign-up form:
LN:
DH: (date of birth)
DW: (date of birth)
D?: (date of birth)
Location: (can be anywhere in the world)

Umm...
Those names are not believable for the time period. I don't think Heath and Erin were used as names in the 1880s, and "Zoey" was only spelled Zoe back then. Why not check this link for help?

Ancestry.com...
has records of Heaths, Erins, and Zoeys, all born around 1880.
They just weren't enough of them to make the chart! You would be quite surprised at what was used back then. I even found a Nevaeh born in 1878.

DD: Victoria Anne [1900](0)
Location: San Francisco, United States of America
Bob and Beth live in San Francisco, California. Bob is a doctor for one of the hospitals in the city.

Bob and Beth met at work one hectic night, and their courtship moved quickly. Within six months they had plans to be married. Last summer, they were wed in a simple ceremony. Victoria Anne was born ten months later, and the Olson's are quickly becoming a family.

LN: Bishop
DH: Robert Edward (1878 - 22)
DW: Margaret Rose "Meg" [nee Yale] (1881 - 19)
DS: Robert Edward Jr "Robbie" (1990 - nb)
Location: London, England
The Bishop and Yale families are both families from high society in London, and as such, Robert & Meg had been acquainted for a long time through their parents who were close friends. When Meg reached the age of 16, Robert was encouraged to begin to court her, as both sets of parents thought that they would be a wonderful match.
Meg resisted at first as Robert had quite the reputation for being a bit of a womaniser, but he eventually charmed her into agreeing to a date. Robert & Meg had always been friendly with each other, but their relationship blossomed quickly. After a few weeks, Robert admitted to Meg that all the other girls he'd seen were just floozies to waste time with until Meg had come of age, as he had always known that Meg would be the woman he would marry one day.
Robert proposed to Meg at her 18th birthday celebrations, and they married 6 months later. They had been married for about 6 months when they decided to start their family, and conceived almost immediately. Robert Edward Bishop Jr. arrived 9 months later and is the delight of both the Bishop & Yale families.
