 * In many cases, the wives may not be notable themselves. However, they naturally merit a brief mention in a biography of the notable subject.  This is a natural consequence of a male dominated society, and although this dominance is less than is once was, you're a long time dead. Having said that, they may actually be notable in themselves. Barney the barney barney (talk) 20:30, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

In a lot of cases, wives are buried with their husbands, but have been ignored unfortunately.


 * Repeat: In most cases, it's the husbands that are notable not the wives. The reason for this has been explained.  Also, Francis Darwin's 1st wife was not Lady Darwin as he wasn't knighted until after her death. She's buried "in a small churchyard somewhere in North Wales", where she grew up, according to Gwen Raverat Period Piece (book). Barney the barney barney (talk) 20:15, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
