It's 1928, and here we have my 3rd and 4th generations...
Francis is a direct descendant of the family founder, Belinda Alston, mother to Atticus. Francis's parents are Atticus and Edith Alston. He's the little brother of Edgar, who fell tragically in WW1, as did Francis's twin, Leonard. When Edgar was deployed, his wife and soulmate Maira (nee Watson) was pregnant with their second child. In his memory, she named him Edgar Jr.
Francis survived the war, and married Maira's sister Rahshida upon his return (although he has some latent attraction to one of the male fairy townies that he's been suppressing). They had Bernard and ultimately had to move back into the family home. Atticus had tragically passed away from a killer rabbit attack, around the same time Rahshida met the same fate...and Francis's family was out of funds due to his struggling art career and a recent house fire.
In close proximity and with their shared grief, Francis and Maira fell in love and became engaged...*after* conceiving the twins Evelyn and Moira...they have yet to set a wedding date.
In this scene, we see Francis with his son, Bernard, and his step-son/nephew Edgar Jr., enjoying their new radio while Maira pours tea after having just Woo-Hooed with Edgar's ghost in the other room.
