What are the names of Atticus' brother and sister?

Jack Hale Finch is Atticus's younger brother. Ten years younger than Atticus, he is a doctor whose education was paid for by Atticus. He lives in Nashville, and he has a funny demeanor that makes him unlike other physicians. For example, when he removes a splinter from Scout's foot, he makes her laugh the entire time. Uncle Jack is not married and has a yellow cat named Rose Aylmer.

Aunt Alexandra Hancock is Atticus's sister. She lives in Finch's Landing is married to Uncle Jimmy, a taciturn man. Aunt Alexandra has a son named Henry and a grandson named Francis who spends each Christmas with his grandmother. Aunt Alexandra's personality is very different than that of Atticus, and she is a traditional woman who thinks Scout should follow strict gender norms. Scout says of Aunt Alexandra, "she had river-boat, boarding-school manners; let any moral come along and she would uphold it." Aunt Alexandra cares about appearances and seeming proper to the people around her.
