Charlotte Tebay

Mrs Charlotte Tebay (c. 1819 - 22 December 1901)[1] was one of the first women philatelists and helped to organise the first stamp exhibitions in London.[2]

Like Adelaide Lucy Fenton, Mrs Tebay was one of the first members of the Royal Philatelic Society, London, being elected in April 1876, and many early meetings of the society were held at Dr. and Mrs Tebay's home[3] at 37 Belgrave Road in London.[1]

In 1897 Mrs Tebay was one of the first collectors to exhibit the primitive Ugandan Cowrie stamps.[4]

She died on 22 December 1901, at the age of 82.[1]
