Notes From Elsewhere
Bathoe, Mrs. Maria, 6, Cleveland Gardens, Hyde Park
Bathoe, Maria Burnley (d. 1885). Of London; daughter of the radical politician Joseph Hume. Contributed many quotations to the OED (credited with over 5,000 in 1888), including many from the novels of Dickens.
Maria Burnley Bathoe might be viewed as a traveller, since she spent time in India because of her husband's employment. She evidently came from a family accustomed to living abroad ... In 1843, she married Charles Gubbins of the East Bengal Civil Service, the son of General Joseph Gubbins ... Charles retired by 1861 and at some time between then and his death at the end of 1867 changed his surname to Bathoe, his mother's maiden name. Possibly this was because of an inheritance from his mother's family; certainly Maria seems to have been left well off ... [Darwin and women: a selection of letters, Samantha Evans]
