I'm in the 1897 story now:
Granmama was in her 90's when she died. (this would make her in 40's when crawford played her. in the 1840 storyline the children were hardly ever shown -- Edith and Gabriel has some kids who were always mentioned being in the background, if i remember correctly -- who would they be?)
Judith was the older sister of all of them, no? her old maid status was what kept her from running the show. Who were their parents.
Barnabas mentioned (and i don't recall the episode
) about laura coming to Collinwood when he was merely 10 years old, and he states a year. it's the episode when he finds her portrait.
yes, this is driving me bananas now!
