  • Anne Elizabeth "Annie" Darwin was the second child and eldest daughter of Charles and Emma Darwin. According to biographers, she was a delightful child who brought much happiness to her parents. Eminent Darwin scholar E. Janet Browne writes of her: Anne was .. the apple of her proud father's eye, his favourite child, he confessed to [his friend and cousin William Darwin] Fox. More than any of the other children she treated him with a spontaneous affection that touched him deeply; she liked to smooth his hair and pat his clothes into shape, and was by nature self-absorbedly neat and tidy, cutting out delicate bits of paper to put away in her workbox, threading ribbons, and sewing small things for her dolls and make-believe worlds. In 1849, Anne caught scarlet fever along with her two sisters, and her health thereafter declined; some authorities believe that she suffered from tuberculosis. In vain pursuit of help from Gully's water cure, Charles Darwin took his daughter to the Worcestershire spa town, Great Malvern. She died in Montreal House on the Worcester Road, and is buried in the Great Malvern Priory Church yard. Her death at age ten was a terrible blow for her parents. Charles wrote in a personal memoir "We have lost the joy of the household, and the solace of our old age ... Oh that she could now know how deeply, how tenderly we do still & and shall ever love her dear joyous face."

  • Anne Elizabeth "Annie" Darwin was het tweede kind en de oudste dochter van Charles en Emma Darwin. Ze was één van de drie kinderen van de Darwins die stierven voor ze volwassen waren. Annie kreeg in 1849 roodvonk, waarna het steeds slechter ging met haar gezondheid. Hoewel haar vader nog van alles probeerde, zoals een kuuroord in Great Malvern en hydrotherapie, stierf ze op haar tiende. Ze ligt begraven op het kerkhof van de Great Malvern Priory. Onder meer wetenschapshistorica Janet Browne en schrijver en verre nazaat van de Darwin-familie Randal Keynes (Annie's Box, 2001) schreven over haar. Laatstgenoemde naar aanleiding van een kistje dat hij vond, waarin Charles en Emma Darwin herinneringen aan Annie bewaarden.
