Mary and Percy Shelley, married at London.

Fierce public hostility toward the couple drove

them to Italy. They were happy in Italy, but their

two young children Clara Everina and William were not.

Clara and Percy died, leaving Mary penniless

 with a two year old son. She died in London

 from a brain tumor at age of 53. Mary

Wollstonecraft Shelley was buried between her

 mother and father in St. Peter’s Churchyard,

 Bournemouth. She died in 1851 .
