How many kids did charles darwin have

In order to answer this question, we first need to understand why Darwin had kids in the first place. The answer to this is that Darwin was one of five children, his dad was a doctor, and his dad believed in breeding more cows than he needed. Darwins dad wanted more kids so he could have more influence over them, his dad also wanted to have an influence on the community, and lastly, Darwins dad worried about the familys money. So Darwins kids werent exactly a surprise!Now that we understand the situation, we can begin answering this question. How many kids did Darwin have? Well obviously he had five kids: Charles, Henrietta, Francis, Walter, and Leonard (1). He also had four other children who died young: Annie (2), George (3), Henrietta (4) and Airy (5). We do not know how many kids there were before Annie died (2), but it is likely there were at least two (3) because Annie died so young.Finally once we get to Airy she is not included in the number of kids because she only lived a short time after her siblings. So we are left with 6 kids who lived between 1842 and 1877. If you think about that, Darwin had a total of 60 years with 6 kids!

Did any of Darwins children survive?

No, none of the children of Charles Darwin survived. Only his daughter, Henrietta, lived beyond childhood. The death of all of his children is well documented, and is the subject of much interest to Darwin scholars.The circumstances surrounding the deaths of Henrietta’s two children is a story that has continued to fascinate people throughout the 20th and 21 th century. While it is not perfectly understood by all who study the issue, most biographers agree that tragedy struck two times in a two year period. The first was when 10-month-old Mary (1861) died from diphtheria. A year later, 10-year-old Horace (1868) was killed in a carriage accident.Following these calamities, Henrietta became close to her brother Charles and his wife Louise. She began spending much time at their home on Halsetown Island off the coast of East Yorkshire, England. It is believed she eventually moved there permanently; her last letter was dated October 1874 from London. It is not known what became of her after that date or whether she died or moved on to another area; circumstantial evidence leads to her moving to rural Dorset England.
