His nephew Fred, Fred's wife, and Tiny Tim.
Bob is a loyal people - He needs scrooges work or his family will starve. Jobs of the time were few and many were like Bobs under paid, but they were still something. The family saw how the Miserly Scrooge treated him and hated Scrooge for that
even though people(cratchit and the nephew)aren't rich, they're still happy.
His toast, "To Mr Scrooge, founder of the feast!" highlights Bobs respect and loyalty for what he has and what, even if it is a pittance he is paid by his employer Mr Scrooge by whose wages there was at least a meal on their table that Christmas Day when many in London of the time were staving.
He calls them an addition to the surplus population.
at that time work in London was very scarce. any work found had to be taken and held on to else people would starve
Well, isn't that just a happy little question. You see, Mrs. Cratchit's feelings towards Scrooge are different because she sees the hardships her family faces due to Scrooge's stinginess. Meanwhile, Bob Cratchit is able to see the good in people, like Scrooge, and chooses to offer a toast in his honor despite his flaws. It's all about perspective and understanding that everyone has their own story to tell.

After the visit of the ghosts, Scrooge became a kind, generous, and compassionate person. He transformed from a miserly and selfish man into someone who cared for others, spread joy, and shared his wealth with those in need.
The last spirit took Scrooge to the Cratchit household, where he saw Bob Cratchit's family gathered around the fireplace on Christmas Day. Tiny Tim was among the children present, and Scrooge learned of the family's struggles and love for one another.
The Cratchits' reaction revealed that they were forgiving and understanding people. Despite Scrooge's mistreatment of them, they were able to show kindness and compassion by accepting his toast with grace and humility. This highlighted their positive and empathetic demeanor.
