?!?This has been on my mind since the first time I saw the 1897 storyline a couple years ago.

Do you think that Edward and Judith have the same mother as Quentin and Carl?  There seems to be almost a generation between these duos, and their emotional makeup also seems to differ.  Edward and Judith are both no-nonsense, stern, morally upright Victorians (with a bit of priggishness, IMHO), while Carl and Quentin both seem more free spirited and forward thinking than their elder siblings.

Perhaps this can be attributed to the age gap, or the fact that much younger siblings may sometimes be more spoiled and indulged than their older counterparts.  

I'm starting to think that their father (do we know his  name?) must've been married more than once.  Is there anything revealed on the show that would affirm or negate this, does anyone know? I don't recall any reference to the parents, but then my memory ain't what it used to be!

Also - what ages do you think these four characters are?

Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated!
