The Bell Family

Do you remember Mr and Mrs Bell and their children Carol and Robert?

Mr Bell's parents are dead and he doesn't have any brothers and sisters, he was an only child.

Mrs Bell's parents are still alive, she has a younger sister and an older brother.

Let's learn some more about them:

Here are Mary's parents. Mr and Mrs Richards, Emily and Edgar. She's their daughter.

"Hello. We are Carol and Robert's grandparents. Carol and Robert are our grandchildren."

Mr Richards: "I'm their grandfather. Carol is our granddaughter and Robert is our grandson. "

Mrs Richards: "I'm their grandmother. We're George's in laws. I'm his mother-in-law and Edgar is his father-in-law. George is our son-in-law."

This is Mr and Mrs Robert's other daughter Anne, Miss Richards.

This is their son Charles.

"Hi. I'm Charles. I'm Mary's older brother. That makes me Carol and Robert's uncle. Carol is my niece and Robert is my nephew. Mary's husband George is my brother-in-law, I'm his brother-in-law too. I was married, but not any more, I'm divorced.

I have one child, a baby girl."

Finally, this is Emma. She is Charles' baby. Charles is her father. She is Carol and Robert's cousin, they are her cousins too. Mary and Anne are her aunts, she is Mary and Anne's niece. George is her uncle, she is his niece.
