Maer again and on his third day there (11 November 1838) proposed to Emma and was accepted. He went to Shrewsbury the next day to tell his father and his sisters, then back to Emma, and to London on 20 November. Emma came to London on 6 December, staying with her brother Hensleigh, and she and Charles went house hunting. What they were looking for was somewhere quiet, somewhere central enough for them both to reach theatres and concerts and for Charles to attend his learned societies, and

Her mother had been bedridden for years and she and her sisters had learnt to run a large house between them. The Darwins had a cook, Emma's personal maid, a manservant and probably one other woman. Emma would rather have had only women and they had some trouble in finding the right man until the excellent Joseph

On the Tuesday morning they moved and slept in Number 12 that night. Covington probably stayed on for a bit while Darwin arranged servants and then he left. There is an entry 11-Darwin's made up accounts for 25 February 'Present to Covington on leaving me £2', but this was four weeks after the wedding. He is

to get out his geological results of the Beagle voyage which eventually appeared in three volumes from 1842 to 1846. The more important was the accumulation of notes on the species problem, some from the mass of published information, some from answers to the circular Questions about the breeding of animals which he had distributed in the spring of 1839 to farmers and landowners. Emma became pregnant in April and by the early autumn they slowed down their social life living quietly at home as

The illustration on the front cover of this catalogue is from a pen and ink drawing by Dr Mary Whitear. It shows Charles and Emma, with their infant son William, on the steps of Number 12 in the spring of 1841. Dr Whitear examined later photographs of Number 12 as well as the surviving doorways of houses on the west side of the street. The structural details are therefore as accurately reconstructed as possible. The only artistic licence taken is in the rams' heads and swags on the door frame

colour by George Richmond, R.A. (1809-1896). Charles had intended to have this done, with a twin portrait of Emma, in 1839, as wedding portraits, but they seem to have delayed until March 1840. Richmond was a fashionable portrait artist in water colour or pencil for many years. He tended to flatter his sitters. This is the first likeness of Darwin in any medium, except for a pastel with his sister Emily Catherine made when he was seven or eight. This particular photographic print, from the original

Emma went with the children on 14 September 1842 and Charles followed on the 17th. Their third child, Mary Eleanor, was born on the 23rd, but died twenty-four days later. They lived at Down House for a few months short of forty years; their other seven children were born there and Charles died there. After his death, Emma continued to live there in the summers, but
