Mary Baldwin Herschel
Her personal diary records an account of a 1777 observation that William Herschel denied.
Mary Baldwin Herschel was the wife of William Herschel.
An account of William Herschel's 1777 observation at Glastonbury is recorded in the personal diary of Mary Baldwin Herschel; however, William Herschel himself denied that any such observation took place.
She married William in 1788, so her account was written down years after the night it describes: a recollection of an observation he always denied making.
