Marriage and Family Life

In 1885 Doyle met and married his first wife, Mary Louisa Hawkins, a

sister of one of Doyle's patients.

In 1892, Louisa gave birth to a son they named Kingsley, which the proud father called "the chief event" of their life. The couple had two children, a daughter and a son. In 1893, Louisa was diagnosed with tuberculosis

Arthur Conan Doyle married his second wife Jean in September 1907, a year after the death of his first wife, Louisa. She was 16 years his junior.

The wedding was a magnificent affair, taking place at St Margaret’s church, Westminster

From 1876 to 1881 Arthur Conan Doyle studied medicine at Edinburgh University where he was, by his own admission, an average student. While he was studying there, he had many experiences, and framed many memories, that were to influence his later writing career

Literary career

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930) was a British writer, most famous as the creator of the character Sherlock Holmes. Holmes' analytical abilities made him a new kind of hero, one who uses his mind to succeedSlide11

Joseph Bell was a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh Medical School when Conan Doyle was studying there. It is said this lecturer had the ability to diagnose a patient's disease by simply looking at them. Bell was involved in several police investigations, mostly in Scotland, but he is perhaps best known as an inspiration for Sherlock Holmes

a much admired

fictional character.
