The Blacks' Parents

The mother and father of Licorus, Phoebe, Alexia, Hesper and Eduardus are unknown. There are very few records of the individuals, however there are a few mentions of them from their children's journals.

Mr. and Mrs. Black were both born in France in the late 1700s. It is noted that Mrs. Black was a great deal younger than her husband, and that he died twenty years before her.

They married sometime before 1808, and had their first child together, Licorus Morpheus. They welcomed their second child, a daughter named named Phoebe Astraea in 1810. Their third child, Alexia Walkin, was born in 1812. In 1815, their daughter Hesper Mindolinia was born and died, most likely from lung fever (now known as Pneumonia).

In 1818, Mr. Black and his family moved from Marseille, France to London, England in hopes of starting an architectural firm in the growing city. Eleven years later, the Blacks had their final child, a boy named Eduardus Limette.

All of their children graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as Slytherin students.

Before Mr. Black's death (most likely sometime in the early 1830s) his oldest son Licorus joined him at his firm. The firm he had started would fail soon after, and he would die between 1830-1833.

The Blacks' parents were able to meet their daughter-in-law Magenta, and their three grandchildren, Misapinoa Alexia, Cygnus Antares and Arcturus Nigellus.


 * There is a belief among the later generations that Mrs. Black's maiden name was Walkin (her second daughter's middle name).
 * Mr. Black's name could have possibly been Morpheus or Nigellus.
 * Mrs. Black died sometime in the early 1850s.
