You might be amused to note that the first Headmaster of City of London School was a Mr Giles.
Hee! XD

Lecturers at Oxford at the period were known as Dons (still are, actually) and were required to be clergymen and celibate. It wasn't until late in the Victorian period that any College permitted married dons.
That is very good to know. :D

one of the day schools (St Paul's, KCS or CLS for example) then secure a post at one of the London Colleges
I did write him at one point at KCS, so I feel better about my research skills on that one.

Don't worry, so do I. I've started posting my epic still-in-progress BtVS/Ats timeline (http://fenderlove.livejournal.com/387974.html), including my own not-quite-the-best-researched fanon material.

I'm getting my M.A. in history, and while I would love to do the Victorian Era as my first area of study, I am engaged to the French Revolution... but I keep being drawn back to 19th century London, particularly. It's endlessly fascinating.
