Several members of the Giles family together in 1964. (FLTR: Mr. Giles, Rupert, Edna, Lavinia, and Sophie)
The Giles family was a British family which Rupert Giles was a member of. The Giles family had been involved with the Watchers Council for three generations, starting with Edna Fairweather, who, as a young Watcher-in-training, fell in love with the older son of the family running Giles' Bakery, eventually marrying him. Like Edna, her son also became a Watcher. Edna's grandson, Rupert, would also follow in his father's and grandmother's footsteps.
