Biography
Frances was born in 1810. She was the daughter of John Dickens and Elizabeth Barrow. She passed away in 1848. [1]
Fanny married a fellow musician, Henry Burnett, in September, 1837. Burnett was a non-conformist, and their is evidence that Dickens did not like his religious views. The couple settled in Manchester and after the birth of her first child, Harry, in 1839, she gave up her musical career. Harry was physically disabled and was the model for Paul Dombey, in Dombey and Son.[2]
Fanny Dickens died of tuberculosis of the lung, aged 38, on 2nd September, 1848.[2]
