[2] The works were prefaced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (creator of Sherlock Holmes), who was a great supporter of Owen.

[4] Lord Northcliffe, the foremost newspaper proprietor of the day, published summaries of the works of Owen in his journal, The Weekly Dispatch.

This resulted in a trust fund that provided financial support for Owen for the rest of his life.

Owen married Rose Pemberton on 21 November 1892 at St James church in Handsworth; they had four children.
