muffin_goddess, if you read the family trees you'll see that Merry married Estella Bolger, who presumably did not leave him [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. It's not recorded if they had any children (the way it is with Pippin and his son Faramir Took) but there is a reference in the "Later Events..." chronology which refers to Merry as having at least one son, so presumably there were some children who were somehow slipped out of the family tree [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

It's been a while since I read this thread through, has anyone thought of Shelob? Actually no, she ate most of her spouses...difficult to find lasting happiness under those conditions.
