I haven't work out the bugs of the plot yet, but basically there are two families - one very weathly and high status, and the other poor, homeless beggers that collide and... well, things happen. I'm just not sure what exactly yet.

Wealthy family:
Father - Seen high in the eyes of townspeople, can be somewhat singlemided and selfish
Mother - Sweet, kind, beautiful, woman, overly nice to people to the point of seeming snobby
4 children, at least one boy and one girl, though I'm unsure of the other two.
Poor family:
Mother - Single parent, father has either left or was never present. Very intelligent dispite never being educated properly, is very capable of being independent.
Has one child by blood - a son, and three other orphan street children she has taken upon looking after as her own - one girl and probably two boys.
I know the desriptions seem prety shallow right now, but I just want to get the names out of the way. Thank you so much for the help.
