Page "H. G. Wells" Paragraph 14

In 1891, Wells married his cousin Isabel Mary Wells ; the couple agreed to separate in 1894 when he fell in love with one of his students, Amy Catherine Robbins ( known as Jane ), whom he married in 1895.

Poor health took him to Sandgate, near Folkestone, where in 1901 he constructed a large family home: Spade House.

He had two sons with Jane: George Philip ( known as " Gip ") in 1901 ( d. 1985 ) and Frank Richard in 1903.

The marriage lasted until her death in 1927.
