It's one of the ironies of science that Charlie married his first cousin and almost all of their children died before childbirth or survived just a small length of time. I think a couple of daughters survived their childhood. I don't believe that any survived to die of old age.

And you'd be wrong.

William Erasmus Darwin (27 December 1839 - 1914)
Henrietta Emma Darwin (25 September 1843 - 1929)
George Howard Darwin (1845-1912)
Elizabeth "Bessy" Darwin (8 July 1847–1926)
Leonard Darwin (1850-1943)
Francis Darwin (1848-1925)
Horace Darwin (1851-1928)

Mary Eleanor died as a baby, Charles Waring died from scarlet fever at age 2, and Anne Elizabeth died of tuberculosis at age ten.

And you are absolutely correct that I was wrong. Faulty memory. Thank you for the correction.
