- Charlotte_Murchison abstract "Charlotte Murchison (18 April 1788 – 9 February 1869) was a Scottish geologist. She was a strong influence on the career of her husband, geologist Roderick Impey Murchison.In 1815, Charlotte Hugonin met Roderick Impey Murchison (1792–1871) and married him on 15 August of the same year. She was the daughter of General Francis Hugonin (d. 1836). Her husband followed some rather expensive pursuits and in an attempt to occupy him in more intellectual pursuits, Charlotte travelled throughout Europe with him in 1816–1818. They met Mary Somerville (1780–1872), who was a scientific writer and became a lifelong friend of the couple.During this time Charlotte became very interested in geology and after much persuasion, her husband also developed an interest in the subject in 1824. By 1825, Charlotte and Richard were involved in geology field trips in the South coast of England. However it was Charlotte who began to collect fossils and sketch the rocky outcrops of the coastline. This was the first of many field trips with eminent geologists including Mary Anning (1799–1847). Charles Lyell described her as an invaluable assistant. Lyell and the Murchisons travelled in Europe in 1928, with Charlotte engaged in fossil collecting and sketching geological structures and landscapes.In 1838 when her mother died, Charlotte was left a significant fortune. The couple were able to move to a prestigious house at 16 Belgrave Square, London. Their soirees became a meeting place for scientists and politicians as a result of Charlotte's hospitality skills.[citation needed]Later Mary Anning wrote "Mrs Murchison was an amiable accomplished woman, drew prettily and what was rare at the time she had studied science, especially geology and it was chiefly owing to her example that her husband turned his mind to those pursuits in which he afterwards obtained such distinction".[citation needed]Murchison died on 9 February 1869 at Belgrave Square, London.".
