While reading this article, I was left wondering about the logistics of how they supported themselves in times where it was stated that they were left with no income and needed to study their finances. The fact that "their father's assets eventually yielded 5000 pounds" is kind of vague and does not talk about Mary and Elizabeth's actions. Additionally, the details of their education could be more well-rounded. I would like to see more about each sister individually.Tim Baltmore (talk) 16:52, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am finding conflicting dates for Things in the Forest with seemingly copies published in 1861, while Creese claims 1869. I would also like to add a note on the number of books they co-authored, which seems to be at least 24. GideonTrismegistus (talk) 20:28, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added a few supporting facts within the existing structure of the article that gives some context about their lives, their work, and the climate of their field. Tim Baltmore (talk) 14:48, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Did they stop writing/publishing after Elizabeth's death? GideonTrismegistus (talk) 04:26, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
