Robert Waring Darwin was the father of the naturalist Charles Darwin.

Erasmus Alvey Darwin was the elder brother of the natuarlist Charles Darwin. (The name was traditional in the family: the naturalist also had an uncle and grandfather with the name, the latter of course being the natural philosopher Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802).)

Sir Francis and Leonard Darwin were Charles' sons, and Robert Waring's grandsons.

Reginald Darwin was a cousin of Charles Darwin.
