Help[Games] Re: Victorian Era Generational CAF - Part 1
in reply to a message by Ty Firmin
The Victorian era was a period in British history running from 1837 to 1901. This generational CAF will follow one family in Victorian London throughout this era. You may give each member of the family as many or as few middle names as you like.
Charles Griffiths is a somewhat self-important but very talented blacksmith and farrier (maker of horseshoes) living in London. In 1826, at the age of 22, he meets 20-year-old Morgana Hill, 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, Morgana 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, Morgana gives birth to a beautiful baby boy with curly brown hair.
DH (1804): Charles Arthur Griffiths
DW (1805): Morgana Edwina Hill
DS1 (1828): Phillip Archibald Griffiths
A year after Phillip's birth, Morgana finds out she is pregnant once again. In the spring of 1830, Charles and Morgana welcome Octavius, their second son. Octavius is such a happy, easy baby, and both parents are thrilled. Shortly after his birth, Morgana's mother falls ill and passes away. The family mourns - Morgana was especially fond of her mother and misses her dearly. Morgana's father is also grieved and moves to London to be nearer to his daughter, Morgana, his only surviving child. He becomes a household presence and a wonderful grandfather to Phillip and Octavius.
DS2 (1830): Octavius Alexander Griffiths
Over the next few years, Morgana gives birth to another healthy baby, a girl. They. name her Charlotte. 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. Morgana 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 Morgana eventually gives birth to two small babies, a boy and a girl. Morgana never fully recovers from the birth and passes away three months later. The family is devastated and ten-year-old Phillip leaves school to begin peddling newspapers on the street.
DD1 (1832): Charlotte Grace Griffiths
DD2 (1838): Lilibet Esmeralda Griffiths
DS3 (1838): Leonidas Emeric Griffiths
Phillip is, at 14, apprenticed to his father and begins work as a blacksmith. The other children attend school. In 1852, Phillip marries his childhood friend, Margaret Price. He now co-owns the blacksmith shop with his father, who is getting older and finds it harder to work. Phillip and Margaret have only one child together: a brilliant and evidently intelligent girl named Ida. Phillip 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): Phillip Archibald Griffiths
DW (1827): Margaret Ann Price
DD (1857): Ida Annabella Griffiths
At the age of 30, Ida marries prominent German physicist Wilhelm Hoffmann. They move to Austria and have four children together.
DW (1857): Ida Annabella Griffiths
DH (1852): Wilhelm Karl Hoffmann
DD1 (1890): Louisa Erna Hoffmann
DS (1895): Thomas Klaus Hoffmann
DD2 (1897): Georgiana Charity Hoffmann
