Wife of William Erasmus Darwin, who was the first-born son of Charles and Emma Darwin, and the subject of psychological studies by his father. He was educated at Rugby School and Christ's College Cambridge, and later became a banker at Grant and Maddison's Union Banking Company in Southampton. In 1877 he married an American Sara Price Ashburner Sedgwick* (1839 – 1902). William was a great believer in university education being available to all, and championed the establishment of a university college in Southampton in 1902. They lived in Bassett, Southampton; the Darwins had no children of their own, and after his wife died, William devoted himself much to his 'Darwin' nieces: Gwen Raverat, Frances Cornford, and Margaret Keynes.

She attended the funeral of Charles Darwin with her husband.

Note: "Sedgwick" should never be confused with 'Sidgwick'!
