Arthur Conan Doyle was part of a big family. He had 7 sisters and 1 brother. Unfortunately, a lot of relatives died during Conan Doyle lifetime : his [[Charles Altamont Doyle|father]] died in 1893, his first wife [[Louisa Hawkins|Touie]] died in 1906, his son [[Arthur Alleyne Kingsley Conan Doyle|Kingsley]] died in 1918, his brother [[John Francis Innes Hay Doyle|Innes]] died in 1919, his beloved [[Mary Josephine Elizabeth Foley|mother]] died in 1920, his brother in law [[Ernest William Hornung|Ernest W. Hornung]] died in 1921, his two sisters [[Constance Amelia Monica Doyle|Connie]] and [[Bryan Mary Julia Josephine Doyle|Dodo]] died in 1924 and 1927... A strong motive for searching to communicate with the deads.
