No, it's quite alright; we'll keep guessing at least for now. So were you killed? You must have been I suppose... were you a famous/well-known figure?

Technically the heirs of Hador were Lords (of Dor-Lomin) rather than kings.

So perhaps you are Finrod? He took the High Kingship of the Eldar in Beleriand after Fingolfin's death; and young Erenion, later known as Gil-Galad, he sent to the Havens in this time (just after the Battle of Sudden Flame, while 'troubles' were occuring) for his protection.

I was neither Rosie, Malva nor Primula (who only had one child anyway [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

EDIT: I'm not Finrod either, as you might have guessed!

Oops! I failed to spot that particular clue. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Since Lyra is on holiday, she has asked me to look after this question on her behalf (which of course means I can no longer guess [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ).

So you are looking for a Hobbit mother who had more than one child. And it's not Rosie Cotton, Malva Headstrong or (obviously [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) Primula Baggins ... or indeed Eglantine Banks.

Someone had better get it this week, as I'm off on holday myself next weekend. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Nope, neither of those.

I should add that, on the family trees in the Appendices to LotR, I can see only one child of this Hobbit mother, although I believe that Lyra had two offspring in mind.

Yes, she attended Bilbo's birthday party. And no, I don't believe that she did live in Hobbiton (either before or after her marriage).

I must guess that you are Lobelia Sackville-Baggins. I'm not quite sure that she had more children than our dearest Lotho, but otherwise she seems to match.

Iarwain

P.S. Never mind. It it most likely that she did live in Hobbiton after the sale of Bag End. Oh well.

But I am afraid that the answer is not poor old Lobelia.

I'll guess Hilda Bracegirdle? Not sure if she went to the party, but other than that she fits.

Nope.

OK, to try to hurry things along a bit, here is a clue. This character's son played more than an incidental role in LotR.
