+(the reddit thread `of the same name`_ by RoseIsBadWolf_)
+
+Does anyone have some invaluable resources for writing that they
+would like to share? Here are some of mine:
+
+`Budgets that show the cost of living near Jane Austen's time`_
+
+`Every named character in every Austen novel`_ (made these myself, excel and PDF format)
+
+Comprehensive timelines for:
+
+`Sense & Sensibility`_, `Mansfield Park`_, `Northanger Abbey`_,
+Persuasion_, Emma_, and `Pride & Prejudice`_ (and another_)
+
+Mollands for public domain illustrations:
+https://www.mollands.net/etexts/index.html
+
+And of course, I always have the Gutenberg project version of
+every novel open on my computer for reference!
+
+-----
+
+`Online Etymology Dictionary`_ for checking language use.
+
+I like to use the searchable copies of the books on `The Republic
+of Pemberley`_, which also has a lot of other resources, if you
+look around.
+
+The Regency Encylopedia, alas, has been down for some time, but
+`Jane Austen's World`_ often has good information, and an old,
+little-known blog that's great for historical research is the
+`Regency Redingote`_.
+
+-----
+
+I use https://idiomsorigins.com to check whether an idiom or turn
+of phrase would be era appropriate. However, I've been surprised
+sometimes by idioms that aren't there.
+
+https://Georgette-heyer.com/slang for regency cant and
+expressions.
+
+I also have Louise Allen's book “Regency Slang Revealed”
+that organizes and indexes `Grose's Dictionary of the Vulgar
+Tongue`_. This book is so interesting and kind of hilarious!
+
+I write in British English, so I use
+https://dictionary.cambridge.org to check British spelling if I'm
+unsure.

+Was Lisa Turpin descendant of Dick Turpin?

+(my reddit thread `of the same name`_)
+
+That is `Lisa Turpin`_ and `Dick Turpin`_. I am not sure where to
+go with it, just a thought. Perhaps just that not everybody at
+Hogwarts is so boringly middle-class bland?

+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Also Harry and Theodor are descendants of Dick Turpin's partners
+in crime, Stephen Potter and Robert Nott.
+
+also
+
+The dates would also make sense because they part of the
+generation born immediately after the statute of secrecy
+was established. They grew up in households with generally
+anti-Muggle sentiments they thought they could make a quick buck
+if they used their unfair advantage to rob Muggles.

+
+Eh, aren’t they all characters of a book called “Rookwood_”?
+
+(my comment: there is also `Ambrose Rookwood`_, but he was part
+of the Gunpowder Plot, so roughly hundred years earlier).
