daughter, Matilda, is the skilful botanical artist who succeeded 

 Walter Fitch as illustrator at Kew. 



Dawson Turner's eldest daughter, as we have seen, married 

 W. J. Hooker. His second daughter, Elizabeth, married that 

 Francis Cohen who on his marriage assumed the name of 

 Palgrave with the consent of her uncles, the two surviving 

 sons of William Palgrave, and last male representatives of

Hannah Sarah (1808-82) made sixty portraits from

 in Lithography ' for private circulation. She married, 1839, 

 Thomas Brightwen of Great Yarmouth. 



Eleanor Jane (1811-95) was an accomplished classical 

 scholar. She married, 1836, Eev. Wm. Jacobson, D.D., Bishop 

 of Chester. 



Gurney (1813-48) married, 1844, Mary Anne Hamilton. 



Dawson William (1815-85) Headmaster of the Eoyal 

 Institution, Liverpool, married Ophelia Dixon. 



The atmosphere in which the young Hookers grew up was
