This be not a tale of woe, for Gertiey has had a very blessed life filled with an abundance of love from her family, which seems to be growing with each passing day, by blood or by friendship.  

Her eldest boys, Charlie and Evan, became carpenters. A very fine profession that takes them to new settlements often, much to their mothers worry, though Charlie is wed to a beautiful woman by the name of Sarah, with equally beautiful children as a result, Lucy (18) and Rita (16).  His twin brother Evan was not as fortunate, losing his wife Abby when they had only been wed five years, the only clear reminder of their union was a daughter by the name of Una, currently twenty years of age. The love being pure, he has refused to take another wife.

Peter, a strong man of strong principals works as a guard in the troubled town of Trestlebridge, and rarely finds the time to visit his mother. He is wed to a woman of a nervous disposition by the name of Iris. They have a young son, who wishes to be just like his father. Derron, aged twelve.

George is a horse trainer, having loved working with the creatures since spending much of his youth helping out at the stables in Bree. He is wed to a woman called Kate, a woman he met when her rich father wanted to purchase her a grey dappled horse. They have twins, aged eleven. Corey and David.

Dahlia, raven haired and similar to her mother, with a nurturing way about her. She is wed to Lenny and between them seems to be challenging her mother in just how many children she is having. Triplets, Fay, Fiona, and Fred are now fourteen and all seem the spit of their father Joe. They also have a son, ten, named Malcom, another, Pete who is five, and one year old Daisy.

Timothy, Dahlias twin brother, remains single and is a leather worker. Although he has courted women, he has not yet found one who he wishes to spend his life with.

Jack likely has many children, by many women, though he cannot always remember the mothers he would meet in inns or the like, given most of the time he would be drunk during the conception.  He has a roving eye and his only ambition seems to be to turn Bree from a small town to a city given his way with women.

Bobby, a charming, sweet man who is gifted with words and song. He shows little interest in settling down with a woman, though he has been desired by some, he seems more alive in the company of a man.

Quentin, fair of hair, built like an ox, and with looks to die for, seems the most protective of his family. Even though young, he tends to keep the younger members in order and is a bit of a mothers boy. Learning a thing or two from Charlie and Evan, he has gone into the construction of houses.

Alys, a wild and impulsive seventeen year old full of cheeky charm and the potential to break the many hearts of the young men of Bree, and the cause of some of her mothers grey hair
