William Henry Hudson (4 August 1841 - 18 August 1922) was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist. Hudson settled in England during 1874, taking up residence at St Luke’s Road in Bayswater, where he continued to live for most of his life; in 1876 he married his landlady, the former singer Emily Wingrave, in Kensington, London. She was his senior by some years, (sources differ). He supported himself as a writer and journalist; the couple had no children. Hudson himself obtained British citizenship in 1889. Hudson died in Kensington in 1922, and was buried in Broadwater and Worthing Cemetery, Worthing on 22 August 1922, next to his wife who had died early in 1921.
