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.

Your belief is founded in the lies of Fundamentalists.

The Children of Charles & Emma Darwin

10 chilren, 3 died in infancy, the others survived to 67, 70s, 80s, 93.

Actually, my belief was based on the faulty recall of a 7:30am lecture in my Evolutionary Mechanisms class 35 years ago. Me bad. Thanks for the gentle correction.
