Pureblood Families

Almasy

An extremely wealthy, matriarchal family primarily from Moscow, Russia. Only a handful reside in the UK. They are known asThe Almasy.

Avery

An old, wealthy pureblood family either said to have originated from France or Navarra. Formerly staunchly purist and thus has many historical ties to other pureblood families. After their involvement with Grindelwald and Voldemort, the family is split between maintaining that purist view and being anti-purist. Anti-purist Averys declare their distaste for blood discrimination openly, while the purist side tends to keep a low profile.

Bagnold

The Bagnolds are a pureblood family with roots in Kent, England. They are closely connected to the Grimms and the Whitmans, and have direct ties to many other pureblood families. The Bagnold family has a reputation for being very pro-Ministry and anti-purist, and are known to produce many Gryffindors. Millicent Bagnold, a former Minister for Magic who came to power during the end of Voldemort's first reign, is still the clan's matriarch.

The Bagnolds are open for pureblood connections or new characters within the family. For more information, please contact Sparky.

Bombay

Canterbury

The Canterbury name has become something of a hodge-podge. Depending on who eccentric wizengamot member Argyle Canterbury was married to (he has had several wives) his children have been pureboods or half-bloods. The Canterbury Estate is in the village of Mould-on-the-Wold. Current residents include Argyle; Hannah, wife number seven; and his youngest children with Hannah, Polka-Dot and Polly Esther Ligeia. So in a way they're related to everybody. Through marriage, twice or thrice removed.

NPC relations

Carstairs

The Carstairs family are a largely Pureblood family with many Halfblood offshoots. They are well-to-do and tend to socialise in the same circles as most other upperclass Pureblood families. However, the Carstairs are not especially known for being extravagant or flashy (with exceptions). They have occasionally produced a Seer. They are not notable Purists.

Carstairs were originally a Scottish family but have long since strayed far from their roots, to settle in England. The tombstones of some ancestors may be sighted in Melrose Cemetery, Edinburgh.

Gamp

A canon pureblood family from England. Recent generations (Mortimer Gamp, Lyra Gamp) have a family home in Godric's Hollow. There are opportunities for many branches off. The family have loosened their thoughts on requiring pureblood marriage. Historical Gamps have included a Minister for Magic and a Gamp who established Transfiguration laws. Many ancestors have worked deeply in the Department of Mysteries. Family Tree

Grumman

Knight

The Knight family is from England. The main line currently resides is Kilburn. They are an incredibly old fashioned family. They tend to be purist, sexist, racist, and very traditional in behavior. The family is known- even now- to practice arranged marriages to keep the blood line pure and prestigious.

Lemon

A small and poor pureblood family. The Lemons have generally laboured in magical farms and tending to creatures. Only some of their members hold actively strong Purist views.

Morgan

A small but cut-throat pureblood family of Welsh origin. In the past, they have been known to 'disappear' or throw out members who threaten the current status quo of power. Edgar Carstairs is famously a Morgan disowned for his progressive views and for being close in the line of succession.

The Morgan estate is located in the Glaslyn river valley in north-west Wales. Their family burial plot is in a nearby grove of great oaks plotted against muggle detection, called Cell y Dewiniaid. Morgans continue to be buried here.

Musgrave

Recent generation hail from St Albans, England. A more working to middle class family who have thinly retained their pure blood. The name is now most commonly associated with recent dementor and criminal activity, but was previously respected within the Department of Magical Transport.

Ollivander

The Ollivanders are an old pureblood family who occasionally marry half-blood and muggleborn people.

O'Doherty

The O'Doherty family is an old Irish clan made rich from an ancestral wand with rare Leprechaun Hair core. The family was once pure but rather convoluted. It was common for marriages between cousins or such to keep the family name, passed down through the firstborn sons. The family's legendary vile attitude is rumored to be caused by a curse from the original Leprechaun that was wronged by an ancestor. The family lives off their immense wealth, loaning it for illicit causes with nasty return rates. Current patriarch Ainbheartach was not pleased with his son Martin's marriage to a muggle woman. Casey was groomed as a male inheritor until cutting ties with the family, leaving cousin Brona as the new possible inheritor.

While the family claims to be of pureblood that is under scrutiny, at least in the recent generations. Casey, particularly, was born from a muggle mother. Whether they are truly pure or not, the O'Dohertys like to portray themselves with that status.

Frederick and Francine fully love each other and usually remember preventive measures but sometimes they forget, which might contribute to the odd gaps between the ages of their children.
