Quo Fuit places 10 dated presences for George Darwin across 7 places, from 1845 to 1912.
Each one keeps the sentence it was taken from and a link to its source.

Every dot is a place George Darwin is documented in, on a dated record. The interactive globe carries the full detail.
Where George Darwin was documented, and when
9 July 1845exact date
Down Housedocumented“Darwin was born 9 July 1845 at Down House, Kent, the fifth child of biologist Charles Darwin and Emma Darwin.”source: Wikidata: Q325016 · 2 sources agree
University of Cambridgeattested“In 1883 Darwin became Plumian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy at the University of Cambridge.”source: Wikipedia: George Darwin
In each of these, a source puts George Darwin and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that George Darwin was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.

Two people documented in the same place in the same year is a correlation, not a meeting.
Quo Fuit will never say they met without a source that says so.
How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.

See George Darwin on a 3D globe, filter the record by date, and cross this life with another to find
