They were close friends of Charles Kingsley, the author of Water Babies, who at that time was canon of Chester Cathedral. They were also connected by marriage to the Brontës through a Maria Branwell, the mother of famous sisters. The girls were members of the Naturalists Field Club, with Kingsley as leader.
