History
Jeannetta Fison, the daughter of Thomas Fison, a merchant, was the second wife of the mathematician Robert Potts, whom she married on 23 February 1854. She was a cousin of Caroline Slemmer, later Lady Jebb.
The ODNB says that Jeannetta Fison was born in 1829 or 1830, while census records record that she was 29 in 1861 and 68 in 1901, which, if correct, would mean that she was born in 1832. However, her tomb in the Mill Road cemetery, Cambridge, records that she was born on 5 April 1830 and died on 14 July 1911.
