Re: ERB's KUY Congrats - Round 1 of 10: 16th Century Edition!
DH: Benjamin Hamnet Cadwallader (33)
DW: Heather Juliet [Ó hAnnagáin] Cadwallader (33)DD: Joan Líadan Cadwallader (14) Benjamin and Heather welcomed Joan shortly after their wedding, a small secret affair hidden from Heather's parents for fear of their disapproval. While Benjamin worked in town as an apprentice blacksmith, Heather came from a family with some money. Though they didn't have enough to set them too far apart, Heather's parents preferred their daughter fraternize with people of her own status. Heather disagreed. Every week when she would go into town to gather the things her mother needed, Heather would stop at the blacksmith's just to say hello to Benjamim. This started when they were still very young. Their friendship blossomed into a romance and by the time they were eighteen, they made their wedding plans. Heather convinced her mother that she needed some time away from home, her mother giving her enough time for Heather and Benjamin to run away, get married, and get pregnant before any questions were asked. By the time Heather's mother learned of her daughter's marriage, Heather and Benjamin had settled into their new life in London. At fourteen years old, Joan has the same spitfire spirit her mother did as a child. Joan prefers to tramp through the woods when her father is free to supervise or run about the city during the time he must work (which much to Joan's chagrin is most of the time). Joan has made friends with everyone, near and far, and has gained herself the nickname of The Little Wanderer.
