Fanny Trollope was born in Bristol in 1779 and at 29 married Thomas and over the years bore him seven children (one died at birth). One of those children was Anthony Trollope.

Her husband suffered from chronic headaches, probably exacerbated by mercury-based drugs which were given to him and which contributed to his black moods.
