Charles Dickens, an English author and social commentator, marries Catherine Thomson Hogarth in 1836.
Catherine Hogarth was born in Scotland, the oldest daughter of George and Georgina Hogarth. Her family migrated to England in 1834, where her father worked as a music critic for the Morning Chronicle. They met in 1834, fell in love in 1835, and married in April 1836. The first of their 10 children was born in January 1837. Dickens became dissatisfied with Catherine and his marriage. He was irritated by the fact that he had to support so many children. Catherine's lack of vitality did not sit well with him. He began to imply that she was not, and had never been, his intellectual equal.
