She was older than he was, and in 1832 he was just leaving university and too young to marry, he needed to make a position for himself. But Fanny was 24 and in danger of being left on the shelf. She had already been jilted in 1830 by Rev John Hill. A woman with as many brothers and sisters as Fanny had to find a husband. But this did not prevent Charles being heart broken - <br />29 Jan 1832 Catherine Darwin "I hope it won't be a great grief to you, dearest Charley. You may be perfectly sure that Fanny will always continue as friendly and affectionate to you as ever and as rejoiced to see you again though I fear that will be but poor comfort to you, dear Charles"<br />29 Jul 1834 Charles Darwin "Thank Fanny for her good-natured note: I have just reread it. The sight of her hand writing is enough alone to make me long for this voyage to come to some end."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589843925440356874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605481927015740082.post-6752863917493089862015-08-23T15:16:07.361-07:002015-08-23T15:16:07.361-07:00Hello Steven!

It's ...Hello Rachel! very nice to meet you :) <br /><br />It's incredible to have met here on my blog a <br />relative of Fanny ! I saw you are also connected with Charles Darwin family !you lucky woman :)<br /><br />I have found the results of your research here :<br /><br />" it's very exciting for me to see this marriage notice and information about Mary Susan Parker as it means my family does indeed have a connection by marriage with Charles Darwin and his sister. My great-great-great-grandmother was Tryphena Mostyn Owen, daughter of the Rev. Edward Henry Mostyn Owen and sister of Edward jnr who married Mary Susan. Tryphena's cousin Frances (Fanny) Mostyn Owen was also Charles Darwin's love interest before he set sail on the 'Beagle' Cheers, Rachel"<br />Do you have a geanealogy of your family?<br /><br />I would love to keep in touch with you, so I have added you to my G+ circles!<br /><br />hoping to hear you soon!<br /><br />Patrizia<br /><br /><br /> <br />Patrizia Martellinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189802497444029223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605481927015740082.post-61141939882676967152013-02-07T07:27:43.945-08:002013-02-07T07:27:43.945-08:00Fanny was my great-great-great-grandmother Tryphen...Fanny was my great-great-great-grandmother Tryphena Owen's cousin.. their fathers were brothers.
