The Godolphins!

This is something you've asked me a lot, and now that @danjaley has released their new Romanov Pose Pack (and I can take screenshots again), I can finally show you the Godolphins in detail!

(Obsessed with this posepack)

Let's see who's who!

There are 4 groups signaled by letters, these are the Dowager Duchess and the families of her 3 daughters. The daughters' letters are in order of age. Let's see!

1a: The Hon. Lady Marjorie Alexandra Godolphin, Duchess of Southport.

2a: The Hon. Lord Esmond Nicholas Godolphin, XIVth Duke of Southport

3a: The Hon. Lord William III Evelyn Godolphin, XVIth Marquess of Portborough.

1b: the Hon. Lady Diana Wilhemina Stanhope (née Godolphin) Countess of Mexborough.

2b: The Hon. Lord Cecil Alexander Stanhope, XIth Earl of Mexborough

3b: The Hon. Lord Colin Saint George Stanhope, Viscount Yeoville.

1c: The Hon. Lady Elizabeth Winifred Harmsworth (née Godolphin) Marchioness of Rothermere

2c: The Hon. Lord Vere Sidney Tudor Harmsworth, Marquess of Rothermere.

3c: The Hon. Lord Vere Esmond William Harmsworth, Viscount Cortery.

4c: The Hon. Lady Winifred Victoria Harmsworth.

D: The Hon. Lady Marjorie Millicent Godolphin (née Cavendish-Bentinck) Dowager Duchess of Southport.

The eldest sons of each marriage have what's called a "courtesy title", except for William, who as the eldest son of a Duke, receives his father's subsidiary title, Marquess. The son's subsidiary title is Viscount, followed by the place where their parent's ancestral home is. Lady Winifred, is just a Hon. Lady, a courtesy address only the children of the highest ranking peers (in the order of precedence) receives.

The setting is the Drawing Room at Finchwick Park, the Godolphin's ancestral home.

Pretty much every piece of clothing was masterfully converted from ts4 by @joojconverts most hairs are either from TS3, TS3 Store, @carversims or from Buckley's Disentangled Set Part 1 . The shoes are all from TS3 Store or the Supernatural pack.

The backround is decorated with Unreleased paintings and Rug, but I assure you, you'll get them eventually! Excuse the shoes sinking on the floor, There's a resizing OMSP under the rug haha. In the backround we see 3 portraits, over the mantelpiece hangs the portrait of the Godolphin sisters when bachelorettes, masterfully executed by John Singer Sargent in 1905 (the portrait is originally Sargent's Acheson sisters)

Hope you enjoy this as much as I've enjoyed making this lol.

Love the pics from your Edwardian save you shared recently and was wondering what there's a story to go with it and if you'd be willing to share?

Hi! Yes there is one!

The family goes like this:

The Godolphins began with Sidney Godolphin, Ist Earl of Portborough in 1660. His son was later elevated to the title on Duke of Portborough by Queen Anne in 1700 for his victory in the battle of Tordesillas during the Spanish War of Succession. The Duke's Wife, Margaret became very good friends with the queen's lady in waiting, Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, thus belonging to the queen's innes circle.

In 1689, Sir Christopher Wren was comissioned tu build a country house for the IInd Earl of Godolphin, in red brick. The house was named Finchwick Park. The manor had a mausoleum to serve as the resting place of multiple generations of Godolphins.

In 1785, the Vth Duke hired the scottish architect William Adams, who enlarged and modernized the façades, adding white stone walls, the music room and redecorating the Dining Room, the Staircase Hall, the Entrance Hall and the passages, while keeping the shape of the original house.

In 1856, Calability Brown was hired to Modernize the gardens in the english style, planting new trees, the Water Mirror, the Temple of Arethusa and the Pet's Mausoleum.

The Marriage between William James Godolphin and Marjorie Millicent Cavendish-Bentinck in 1879 brought new life to Finchwick park. A portrait of their three daughters hangs over the fireplace in the Drawing room (seen here in the backround), as well as multiple pendants of their daughters and their husbands. They modernized the kitchens and bathrooms in the french style, and restored their London Town House, Portborough House in Mayfair, London.

Marjorie, their eldest daughter, married her second cousin, Esmond, thus inheriting the title of duke in 1900, they had their only son, Esmond William Godolphin, that same year.

Diana and Cecil met in a garden party at Buckingham Palace, during Diana's debut in 1900. Cecil proposed in November and the wedding took place in St. Paul's in London in 1901. 9 months later, their only son, Colin, was born.

Elizabeth met Vere simply as an accident in 1905. While in Finchwick, preparing for her court debut, a car near the gates of the state broke down. The car belonged to Beatrice Harmsworth (née Dallas-Yorke) a very close friend of the then Duchess, Marjorie. The Duchess sent her chauffeur to pick her up in the pouring rain. Apparently, the car was basically ruined, so when she arrived at finchwick, she called to her London House wich immediately sent a car that arrived the next day with clothes and necessary provisions, amongst them, her 24 years old son and heir, Vere Sidney Tudor Harmsworth, Marquess of Rothermere. Elizabeth, being alone with her parents due to her sister's honeymoons took a liking to the young man. They eventually got married in january 1909 at Westminster Abbey. Elizabeth gave birth to twins in december 1909, Vere and Winifred.

That's pretty much it! I have some marriages planned for the youngest ones, and being argentine myself, of course I had to add an argentine socialite. Since my game sort of screwed up, I'm still trying to fix it, but once I do, I'll add pictures of the family members.
