William IV of Britain's daughter Elizabeth survives.

You're right we did.

I'd say they'd have five kids, three sons and two girls
If we're having Prince Georg Olav born in 1841, the year after his fathers coronation, then how about this?:
  1. Crown Prince Georg Magnus of Norway(B.1873)
  2. Prince Carl Adalf, Duke of Trondheim (b. 1874)
  3. Princess Cecilia Louise (b. 1875)
  4. Prince Jan George, Duke of Bergen (B. 1877)
  5. Princess Margaret Joanna (B.1879)
Hows that?

Hmm would he marry so late given the immediate need for heirs?
 
  1. Crown Prince Georg Haakon b. 1866
  2. Princess Sophie Cecilie b.1867
  3. Prince Carl Adair b 1869
  4. Princess cecilia Louise b 1872
  5. Prince Jan George b 1875
As an example
 
I like it snd approve. This means then grwat Norse kingdoms are all linked

Yep, I also wouldn't be surprised if Carl marries his OTL brother's wife Louise of the Netherlands, which gives Sweden both a British connection via Louise's sister Marie (who I believe we decided as Princess of Wales) and the potential for a Danish connection similar to IOTL where Carl & Louise's daughter marries Frederik of Denmark

That we did, and I agree. This could mean Britain has a stake there as well
 
In Russia will the future Alexander II marry his original betrothed Alexandrine of Baden (OTL wife of Albert's brother Ernest and sister of Cecilie of Baden), still fall for Marie of Hesse despite her questionable paternity, or will he find a different bride since he is born slightly after the POD?

Hmm I’d say having him marry alexandrine of Baden would be interesting

Let's say they marry in 1840, with Alexandrine taking the Orthodox name Alexandra Alexeievna (the last Baden princess to become a Grand Duchess took the patronym Alexievna, so let's go with that, as always, bold survives childhood
  1. Grand Duchess Alexandra Alexandrovna b. 1841
  2. Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich b. 1843
  3. Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich b. 1847
  4. Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich b. 1851
Here we have an heir, a spare, and a Grand Duchess to play around with. Alexander II not having a plethora of sons might ease some tensions in the family by simply having fewer members (while Nicholas II was a terrible Tsar, his plethora of uncles certainly didn't help matters by either scheming for the crown (Vladimir) or making themselves despised by the populous (Sergei))

I like it, I think this version of Nicholas could be a good balance between his father and his brother of otl
 
Here are royal heirs in the first or second generation still in need of spouses

Uncoupled Royal Heirs
King William IV of the Netherlands (son of William III and Louise of Hesse Kassel) (1840)
King Louis of Belgium (son of Otto and Clementine) (1838)
King George VI of Hanover (1842)
King Miguel of Portugal (1821)
Emperor Joao of Brazil (1824)
King Ferdinand VIII of Spain (1824)
Tsar Nicholas II of Russia (1841)
Henri V of France (1820)
 
Now one needs to consider possible spouses, I don't think Henri V otl wife would be considered

Some potential brides for Henri, in no particular order
  • Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (1820)
  • Princess Francisca of Brazil (1823)
  • Archduchess Adelaide of Austria (OTL Queen of Italy) (1822)
  • Archduchess Maria Carolina of Austria (1821)
  • Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies (1822) (married an Orleans boy IOTL)
  • Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Catholic cousin of OTL Queen Victoria) (1822)
  • Princess Teresa Cristina of Two Sicilies (1822) (OTL Empress of Brazil)
  • Princess Adelgunde of Bavaria (1823)
  • Infanta Luisa Teresa of Spain (1824) (niece of Ferdinand VII)
  • Archduchess Maria Beatrix of Austria Este (1824) (sister of Henri's OTL wife)

  • Archduchess Maria Beatrix of Austria Este (1824) (sister of Henri's OTL wife)
Likely not Maria Beatrix, the others can be taken in consideration but I will suggest a domestic match with one of the Orleans' girls, who are Henry's second cousins
