Sorry if this message arrives twice. I sent it a couple of days ago but it
has yet to arrive. I know not what has happened to it but could do with an
answer.

Subject: Apostrophes

I am hoping that someone can clear something up for me. When, in reference
to addressing people or groups of people, do you use an apostrophe?

I am asking this to clear up where I should use Weasley's against Weasleys.
As far as I thought I would always use the first. But in the books both are
used.

Thanks in advance for the English lesson.

Simon
