Catherine or Katey Dickens, known as Lucifer Box for her fiery temper, was her father’s favourite as a child, but he barely spoke to her for two years after his bitter separation from his wife as he knew she was in contact with her mother.
Troubled by OCD, at the age of twenty, she escape the cheerless family home, by marrying Charles Collins an artist and writer, 12 years her senior and on her wedding day, her father wept into her gown, blaming himself for her entering a loveless marriage.
After Collins’s death she married artist Charles Perugini and they had a son, who died at the age of seven months.
The couple mixed in artistic and literary circles and Kate had a successful career as a portrait painter, exhibiting her work at the Royal Academy.
She was the main source of information for a book about her father that revealed his secretive affair with Nelly Ternan, but many refused to believe it.
She died in 1929 at the age of 89.
