Hi, mscbyk,
I'll address two of the issues you bring up:
Unless I'm forgetting something, I don't believe we're ever told the ages of Gabriel and Edith's children. I believe all we know is that they're away at school. So, it might be possible that in 1840 they had a son who was younger than Tad but still old enough to start a family within the next 5 or so years. And also, even though Joan Bennett was 59 in 1969 that doesn't necessarily mean that Judith was 59 in 1897 - Judith might have been a bit younger.
In Ep #1077, while researching the events of 1840 during the summer of 1970, Quentin mentions that he had a great-grand uncle with the same name as his, and he remarks how very strange it is to think that someone had his name and lived at Collinwood 130 years earlier.

one can assume that the child of gabriel and edith ends up being the father of the 1897 characters(judith,edward,quentin and carl)but those numbers don't really add up.again does this major continuity issue go unaddressed?

are the 1840 quentin and the 1897 quentin supposed to be the same character for some reason?
