Timeline

This page shows a timeline of the major events in the novel (with the occasional external historical event) and the approximate ages of the characters at the time. The accuracy of the dates varies with some, such as Cathy Linton’s birth, narrowed down to a particular time and date, while others can not be specified to more than a season in a year.

Details about defining the dates can be found on the Almanack page.

Where a year or month is shown in this style, it means that event it can be confidently inferred from the details in the novel. Other events are estimated and should be treated with caution.
