Leonard Darwin is referred to in "Gwen Raverat: Friends, Family and Affections" by Frances Spalding (2001)":
"Another elision can be found in her chapter* on the five uncles. Here she mentions that she [Gwen] and her siblings did not know Uncle William and his wife Sara well until as she briefly explains, 'we spent a Christmas with them, once when my mother was ill'. In fact Maud was less ill than fatigued and unable to supply the necessary Christmas merriment as she had just lost her fifth child, who was to have been called Leonard, but who died of jaundice five days after his birth on 30 November 1899. Maud noticed her 14 year old daughter's grief was very acute, and that for some time afterwards Gwen would never leave for a class without first kissing her mother goodbye and as soon as she returned ran first to Maud's room." * Period Piece (1952)
Harriet Frances Keynes, daughter of Sir Geoffrey Keynes and Lady Margaret Keynes, nee Darwin, was buried in the same grave as Leonard in May 1919.
