Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Assuming that he was at least seventeen years old when his son Arthur Weasley was born in 1950 CE, Septimus must have been born no later than 1933 CE and died before more than the year before Arthur's birth. Similarly, Cedrella cannot have died before Arthur's birth.
- ↑ Cedrella's younger sister was born in 1919 CE, meaning she must have been born by then.
