Darwin's daughter Anne Elizabeth, 'Annie', died tragically in April 1851. Her tombstone still stands in the grounds of the Malvern Priory.

See Darwin's recollection of Annie here. Contrary to the story created in the late 20th century, Annie Darwin's death did not finish off Darwin's religious faith. See 2012 The Annie Darwin hypothesis: Did the death of his daughter cause Darwin to "give up Christianity"?
