#### 20th Century

A boy named Ogden Rutter was born into this family on 11 April, 1903, in Runcorn, Cheshire, England. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1914 to 1921, where he played Beater on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He was scouted by the Tutshill Tornados when he turned sixteen years old and was promised a spot when the Gryffindors won the Inter-House Quidditch Tournament in 1921.

Ogden played Beater for the Tornados for ten years before being signed to the English National Team in 1931. During that time, he had met and married Elspeth "Elsie" Seymour. The couple had their first child together, Alice, in early 1931. They had four more children after that- Emily, Annie, Marnie, and Jane.

Alice Rutter married a man called Mr. Beasley sometime before 1978, and had two sons with him, David and Richard Beasley. She was killed in January 1981 during the First Wizarding War.
