Which appears to have contributed to their offspring's ill health.  "Of 
the ten Darwin children, most were sickly.  Three proved infertile as 
adults, and three died young, roughly double the child mortality rate 
in England."  Kean, _The Violinist's Thumb_, pg 251

"While most children born to first cousins are healthy (well north of 
90 percent), they do have higher risks for birth defects and medical 
problems, and the numbers can creep higher still in unlucky families."
