Lady Carson Mahmud-Cromwell

Carson Mary Anne Mahmud-Cromwell was born on 22 November 1992 at St. Mungo's Hospital. She was christened at the same chapel that her sister, Eliza, was christened at, and where her parents, Sally, Duchess of Richmond and Edgar Mahmud-Cromwell, got married, St. Dwynwen Chapel. As a child, rather than be shipped away to Argentina the way her sister had been, instead, she was taught at home by a nanny. Her nanny taught her German and French, as well as math, which would become a passion for Carson as she got older. When Carson turned eleven, rather than attending the Spanish division of Beauxbatons as her sister had, she attended the original French department in Southern France. There, the weather was warm and she spent much time outside in nature. She could sit outside for hours, doing arithmancy, her passion, and learning of complicated muggle maths, muggle studies being another favourite subject of hers. She was not so passionate about the arts and preferred a more logical and by the books approach to life. Even so, she was good fun to be around and liked to do social dancing, particularly the tango and the polka, at events. In 2009, Beauxbatons hosted the Yule Ball, where rather than the triwizard tournaments students were simply instructed to mingle and have fun, which was perfect for her. During this time, Carson met seventh year Hogwarts student, Andrew Wells. The pair got along quite well, and he was her date to the Yule Ball. When he returned to Hogwarts, the two continued to send letters back and forth and be penpals. When Carson graduated from Beauxbatons in 2010, she returned home to England, but didn't stay long before moving to Scotland. She not only wanted to be closer to Andrew, who was from Scotland, but she also had an arithmancy job there for her. Within the year, however, Carson found herself pregnant, and though a bit panicked at first, Andrew and Carson had a good relationship and Carson decided to have the baby. They welcomed a son in December 2010, named Zane Wells. The two continued to be together and in 2015 they got married. In 2015, Carson also suffered a miscarriage, and a second one in 2016. In 2017, they had a second son, Jacob Wells. In 2019, Carson suffered the stillbirth of a daughter and was heartbroken. She decided that she couldn't bear another loss and the couple will be having no more children. The young family currently lives in Stirling, Scotland where Carson is an arithmancy tutor. Next year, Zane will begin at Hogwarts. Andrew is an accountant for the ministry.
