Talk:Anne Darwin

needs rewording
This statement: "In 1849, Anne caught scarlet fever along with her two sisters and youngest brother, the last dying of the disease, and her health thereafter declined;"

According to the list of children in the article on Charles Darwin, the son who died of scarlet fever was not born until 1851. Currently the article on Anne Darwin implies that he became ill in 1849, two years before his birth. I don't know this topic well enough to judge which article is correct. Could someone with more knowledge on the topic please edit this? 69.37.38.253 04:56, 17 June 2007 (UTC)RES


 * Hello and thanks for spotting this. I've reverted to a much earlier version that was correct (i.e. it didn't mention the yet-unborn brother), and verified the facts by checking my copy of Browne.  Opus33 05:45, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

False statement removed
"It was because of her death that Charles, angry with God, became an evolutionist."

This statement had to be removed because it is evidently false. Charles Darwin already became an evolutionist in 1837, coming up with the idea of natural selection just a year later. That's over a decade before Annie died. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lauri Hirvisalo (talk • contribs) 09:00, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

"... he confessed to" [his ... Darwin] Fox. "More .... worlds."
Is it correct that Fox is out of the quotation, as if the author's sentence was ended with "to"? I am not a native speaker, so I am not sure. I understood the words in [] are a comment, but I could not understand why Fox is out of the quatation. So I searched the Internet and found that Fox was in the author's original text. https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=6ikIAQAAMAAJ&q=%22apple+of+her+proud+father%27s+eye%22&dq=%22apple+of+her+proud+father%27s+eye%22&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sin Jeong-hun (talk • contribs) 21:04, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
