YAY!
⭐️
The Victorian era was a period in British history running from 1837 to 1901. This generational CAF will follow one family in Victorian Bristol throughout this era. You may give each member of the family as many or as few middle names as you like.
Caradoc Griffiths is a somewhat self-important but very talented blacksmith and farrier (maker of horseshoes) living in Bristol. In 1826, at the age of 22, he meets 20-year-old Adamantine Baker, 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, Adamantine 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, Adamantine gives birth to a beautiful baby boy with curly brown hair.
THE GRIFFITHS FAMILY
Caradoc Malcolm Griffiths (1804) ❤️ Adamantine Margaret Baker (1805)
James Robert (1828)
A year after James Roberts's birth, Adamantine finds out she is pregnant once again. In the spring of 1830, Caradoc and Adamantine welcome Duncan Alexander, their second son. Duncan is such a happy, easy baby, and both parents are thrilled. Shortly after his birth, Adamantine's mother falls ill and passes away. The family mourns - Adamantine was especially fond of her mother and misses her dearly. Adamantine's father is also grieved and moves to Bristol to be nearer to his daughter, Adamantine, his only surviving child. He becomes a household presence and a wonderful grandfather to James and Duncan.
Duncan Alexander (1830)
Over the next few years, Adamantine gives birth to another healthy baby, a girl. They name her Mary Grace. 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. Adamantine 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 Adamantine eventually gives birth to two small babies, a boy and a girl. Adamantine never fully recovers from the birth and passes away three months later. The family is devastated and ten-year-old James leaves school to begin peddling newspapers on the street.
Mary Grace Sarah (1832)
Queenie Alice & Miles Michael (1938)
James is, at 14, apprenticed to his father and begins work as a blacksmith. The other children attend school. In 1852, James marries his childhood friend, Caley Wright. He now co-owns the blacksmith shop with his father, who is getting older and finds it harder to work. James and Caley have only one child together: a brilliant and evidently intelligent girl named Annabella. James 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.
