Talk:Horatio Rochester/@comment-26470048-20171008222627

Theory about the genealogy of House Rochester:

1. Horatio and Leopold are either brothers or cousins. Monty (Montgomery?) is either a brother, or a cousin of both or any of them, but as only Archie said about Monty that is his uncle, Monty can be also a son of Horatio, Leopold or an unnamed Rochester, either a nephew of the same. Veronica can be sister, sister-in-law, cousin or cousin-in-law of Horatio, Leopold and/or Monty.

2. Patricia is the wife of Horatio. Clarissa is the only confirmed daughter of Horatio and Patricia.

3. Larry (Lawrence?) is the only confirmed son of Leopold.

4. Archie (Archibald?) is the only confirmed son of Veronica.

5. Rockley, Veronica and Bernardine can be either siblings or cousins. Rockley and Bernardine  can be issues of Horatio, Leopold, Monty or an unnamed sibling. They also can be siblings or cousins of Monty (see above). They also can be siblings or cousins of Horatio or Leopold. They also can be siblings or cousins of Clarissa and Larry. Rockley and Veronica can be also husband and wife, which makes Veronica, not a Rochester by blood. Between Rockley, Veronica and Bernardine can also exist uncle/aunt-nephew/niece relations.

6. Clarissa, Larry and Archie are Cousins. Rockley and Bernardine can be their siblings or cousins, or their uncle/aunt. Archie can be the son of Rockley.

7. Viola Pemberton is the illegitimate daughter of Horatio Rochester with Beatrice Pemberton. She is the step-sister of Clarissa and cousin of Larry and Archie. She can be either niece, cousin or step-sister of Bernardine. She is the niece of Leopold, Monty and Veronica. She can be step-sister, cousin or niece of Rockley.
