With so many Crawleys, who will inherit Downton?
The Big Picture Set in 1912-1928, the Downton Abbey series tells the story of one household over the years. Though it includes servants, tenants, and many others, everything in the drama surrounds the Crawley family, from the day-to-day activities in their house to the often salacious rumors circulating about them. The core family and many extended relatives play a big role, especially when it comes to the all-important matter of inheritance.
Matthew Crawley Next in line after Patrick is Matthew Crawley, the lawyer the family never met until he became the heir. Descending from the 3rd Earl of Grantham, Matthew is Robert's third cousin once removed. Initially, he is met with distrust, especially by Mary, who felt she was thrown over for a stranger. Eventually, Matthew married Mary, restoring Cora's wealth to her descendants and setting things right in the eyes of the family.
Isobel Crawley As Matthew joins the family, so does Isobel , his mother. Married to the doctor, Reginald Crawley, she is considered middle-class by her posh relatives, but she adapts and eventually becomes friends with them, even her usual sparring partner, Violet. Later, Isobel marries Richard Grey , Mary's godfather, officially bringing him into the family.
Sybil and Tom Branson The youngest Crawley daughter is Sybil . The spirited Sybil is unlike her sisters. She marries their chauffeur, Tom Branson , who is far from their world. Though this angers her father, in particular, Sybil eventually makes up with the family, and Tom gains acceptance into the family even after Sybil's death in childbirth.
