COMPREHENSIVE BOBBY BRACKENREID ARCHIVE

The Murdoch Mysteries Fandom wiki is practically unusable for most things so I've created my own Bobby Brackenreid resource for all your Bobby Brackenreid needs ! Hooray

Robert “Bobby” Brackenreid (born c. 1890)[1] is the youngest son of Thomas and Margaret Brackenreid, and the younger brother of John Brackenreid and younger half-brother of Nomi Johnston. As of Season 18, he is currently serving time in the Don Jail for the (most likely first degree) manslaughter of Gerard Lacroix.

Biography

Bobby was born to Thomas and Margaret Brackenreid circa 1890. His father was a policeman and his mother stayed at home to look after him and his brother John, who was older than him by four years.

His childhood was not uneventful. One day, Bobby was kidnapped while playing pirates in the park with his friend Robert Stanton. His father himself was on the case to find him, eventually realizing that his kidnappers, fhdkjjs, did not mean to take him at all; they instead wanted his playmate Robert. Bobby was safely returned home. When he was a little older, he got into a fight with Simon Brooks over a penny they had seen on the ground. Constable George Crabtree and Inspector Brackenreid later had an entire ring constructed to have them fight again, but Bobby and Simon ended up becoming making up and friends before they could.

Inspector Brackenreid took lots of pride in how Bobby was "rough and tumble" like him, as a contrast to his other son John, who had softer interests like acting.

When Bobby was 16, his father learned that he had a daughter with another woman before he had met their mother. When Margaret learned of this, she took Bobby to live with her he was sent to Wickford Academy, an all-boys boarding school in Hamilton for his hdfsjk.
