In 1902 I.Ja.Bilibin married an Englishwoman, the artist M. Chambers

Allena, can not remember, was whether the artist Rene Mihailovskaya Bilibin's wife? Basically, she worked on the painting on porcelain, survived the blockade, was sitting in the camps ...
  Thanks in advance.

[Allena]

O'Kennel-Mihailovskaya Rene Rudolfovna, 1891-1981, painter, graphic artist, wife of Ivan Bilibin from 1912 to 1917 was engaged in artistic ceramics.

heir, is in the comments to the "Diary" by Daniil Kharms. It turns out that was.

So, with Mary Chambers, he spent no more (and probably less than) 10 years, son appeared in 1903. In short, Mary could easily regain the single-gang name. Moreover, I have a feeling (intuitive) that the work carried out a woman's hand. I, of course, his version does not insist - no, no ...

Allena, thank you for this help.
I was assured that Rene - the granddaughter of Russian writer Michael, but I am inclined to trust your research.

and she soon married my great-uncle, and bore him two children

By the way, the gifted children. Had to see the watercolor daughter ... St. Petersburg's room. It's simple ... but it "smells" comfort. She died in the siege girl.
A mother herself be tired out from the northern camps, and, perhaps, why the south in her Crimean watercolors as a memory, preemptive cold, and snow fences with barbed wire ..
==================
I hope Vlad will not be complaining about this deviation from the topic.

P.S. Marriage Bilibin with O'Kennel-St. Michael's was a civilian.

She found only two of Mary Chambers. Along with all the biographical data that we all dug up, we must acknowledge that the work that has shown Vladislav, it seems, does not apply. However, a negative result - it is also the result!

[Allena]

Until corrected my last post, fell off the Internet - and all changes are lost. Vladislav! Not all here as easy to book illustrations to draw conclusions not worth it. In my opinion, the version with Chambers still has a cautious right to exist. And although it is easier to disprove than to confirm, but some "attraction" to Chambers, it seems to me there (just do not think that this version I'm trying to pull the ears) ... You may still find her biography and other works. However, it is no longer on the Internet and in libraries, archives ... Good luck!

I was assured that Rene - granddaughter of Russian writer Garin-Mikhailovsky, but I am inclined to trust your survey

Why, but? Do you think the writer Garin-Mikhailovsky may not be the wife of the artist Bilibin?

[наследник]

Because ...

One of the brothers of my grandmother, Sergei N. Michael, was married to a rather well-known porcelain artist Rene Rudolfovna O `Connelly.
Last O'Connell - Irish, and Daniel O `Connelly, an Irish patriot, who stands a monument in the center of Dublin - entered her mother grandfather. Although she herself was considered a French citizen and was born in Paris. This intricate story here.

It seems to me a la 21-23 years.

Another spelling (letters and numbers) seemed to me not old-regime.
