William Somerville

After nearly five years as a widow, Mary Greig married her first cousin Dr William Somerville , a medical doctor in the service of the British Army .

MS 's husband, William , died at the age of ninety.

MS and her husband , at the behest of a group of Cambridge's mathematical scholars impressed with her work on Laplace , arrived at Cambridge University for a week-long stay.

The results of MS 's first experimental investigation of the connection between light and magnetism were presented to the Royal Society by William Somerville ; they later appeared in the Society's Philosophical Transactions.

MS and her family moved to 12 Queen Square, Bloomsbury, after her husband was offered the post of Principal Inspector of the Army Medical Board.

MS 's husband, William , was appointed Physician to the Royal Hospital , also called Chelsea College .

MS and her husband gave up their house in Bloomsbury and moved to Chelsea, less because of William 's new position there than because of financial concerns.

MS and her family sailed for Italy with the hope that the mild climate would benefit her husband 's poor health.

On behalf of the Society for Diffusing Useful Knowledge , Henry, Lord Brougham , wrote to MS 's husband to propose that she translate into English the advanced French astronomical mathematics of Laplace 's Méchanique Céleste.

MS left London with her husband and eldest daughter for Paris, where they spent a fortnight meeting French scientists.

MS , with her daughter and husband , arrived in Switzerland for six weeks of travelling.

MS travelled with her husband , daughters, and (younger) son to Switzerland for a six-week tour of the Alps.
