  • Henrietta Emma "Etty" Darwin, was a daughter of Charles Darwin and his wife Emma Wedgwood. Etty was born in Down House, Downe in 1843. She was Darwin's third daughter and the eldest daughter to reach adulthood after the eldest Annie died aged 10, and second daughter Mary died before becoming a month old. She and her brother Frank helped her father with his work, and Etty helped edit The Descent of Man. In August 1871 she married Richard Buckley Litchfield who was born in Downe, 1832, but the couple never had any children. She was widowed on 11 January 1903 when he died in Cannes, France. It was Etty who had several passages from Charles Darwin's biography of his grandfather Erasmus Darwin, The Life of Erasmus Darwin, removed and probably had a similar hand in editing to similar effect The Autobiography of Charles Darwin. She also edited her mother's private papers Emma Darwin: wife of Charles Darwin. A Century of Family Letters (1904). She also responded to the Lady Hope Story that her father had undergone a deathbed conversion by writing an article in The Christian in 1922 saying it "[had] no foundation whatever". She died in Burrows Hill, Gomshall, Surrey, aged 86.
  • Henrietta Emma "Etty" Darwin était la fille de Charles Darwin et de sa femme Emma Wedgwood. Etty est née à Down House, Downe en 1843. Elle était la 3e fille de Darwin, et la plus âgée ayant atteint l'âge adulte, après que sa sœur ainée Annie soit décédée à l'âge de 10 ans et que sa seconde sœur Mary décède à l'âge d'un mois. Elle et son frère Frank aidèrent leur père dans son travail et Etty l'aida à rédiger L'Origine des espèces. En août 1871 elle se maria avec Richard Buckley Litchfield, originaire de Downe, mais le couple n'eut jamais d'enfant. Elle se retrouva veuve le 11 janvier 1903 lorsqu'il décéda à Cannes en France. Ce fut Etty qui enleva plusieurs passages de la biographie de son père sur son grand père, Erasmus Darwin, The Life of Erasmus Darwin, et qui participa probablement également à 'The Autobiography of Charles Darwin. Elle publia également les notes privées de sa mère Emma, Emma Darwin: wife of Charles Darwin. A Century of Family Letters en 1904. Elle récusa également l'histoire de Lady Hope, qui racontait dans un article de 1922 publié dans The Christian, que son père, lors d'une conversation sur son lit de mort, lui avait dit qu'il abandonnait sa théorie de l'évolution et qu'il acceptait Jesus Christ comme son sauveur. Elle écrit sur ce sujet qu'"il ne repose sur aucun fondement". Elle décéda le 17 décembre 1929 à Burrows Hill, Gomshall, Surrey, à l'âge de 84 ans.
