Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have just one more question! Did Fanny ever marry anybody after her love affair with Keats?

She eventually married 12 years after Keat's death and had three children.

I'll tell you in another life, when we are both cats.

Yes, she was in her early 40s when she married. The man she married was younger than her, he was about Keats' age (mid to late 20s). I can't remember the guy's name, but she did marry again much later, after mourning Keats' death for many years.

I believe Fanny was in her early 30s when she "re"married. I want to think 33 or 34.

She was born in 1800, so she was about 18 when she met Keats and around 21 when he died. Then she remarried in 1833, so she was 33, then had kids from the age of 34 into her late 30's.

On 8 December 1865, the front page of the London Times included the following obituary: 'On the 4 inst., at 34 Coleshill-street, Eaton-square, Frances, the wife of Louis Lindon, Esq. Friends will kindly accept this intimation.' The 65 year old Mrs Lindon was survived by her husband, a sales agent twelve years her junior, and three children. The eldest, 31 year old Edmund was in government service; 27 year old Herbert and 21 year old Margaret still lived at home.

As others have stated she remarried 12 years after Keats' death, a man named Louis Lindon and had three children: Edmond (1934), Herbert (1838), and Margaret (1844).

Wow she mourned him a long time.

And she wore Keats' ring until the day she died. Here's her image. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe dia/commons/thumb/4/48/Portrait_miniature_fanny_brawn.jpg/220px-Portra it_miniature_fanny_brawn.jpg&imgrefurl=http://en.wikipedia.org/wik i/Fanny_Brawne&h=257&w=176&sz=1&tbnid=DmvrwcXiSnZrPM:& amp;tbnh=160&tbnw=109&zoom=1&usg=__ZLehAuGPoka5VBycSF2ufEq PBpo=&docid=5ZZD-q65RXZMoM&itg=1&sa=X&ei=qyW2UY6XGrOQy QHNuYCgBQ&ved=0CJ0BEPwdMAo
