( December 2015 ) Bob Cratchit A Christmas Carol character Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim as depicted in the 1870s by Fred Barnard First appearance A Christmas Carol 1843 Created by Charles Dickens Information Nickname ( s ) Bob Gender Male Occupation Clerk Spouse ( s ) Mrs. Cratchit ( named Emily in some adaptations ) Children Martha Belinda Peter an unnamed son ( named Matthew in some adaptations ) an unnamed daughter ( named Lucy or Gillian in some adaptions ) Tiny Tim Bob Cratchit is a fictional character in the Charles Dickens novel A Christmas Carol. The abused, underpaid clerk of Ebenezer Scrooge ( and possibly Jacob Marley, when he was still alive ), Cratchit has come to symbolize poor working conditions, especially long working hours. He is close to 30 years of age in the book, but can appear differently in different versions. According to a comment by Scrooge, Cratchit works for 15 shillings a week at a rate of three pence ( `` thruppence '' ) an hour for 60 hours per week. Until the decimalization of the British Pound in 1971, one shilling was twelve pence. Thus, fifteen shillings is 180 pence. It would take 60 hours to earn 180 at a rate of three pence per hour. In terms of 2015 purchasing power, this would be approximately £ 63.00 or about $94 US per week.
