Mrs Charlotte Tebay (Died 1902)[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 Mr and Mrs Tebay's home at Belgrave Square in London.[3]
In 1897 Mrs Tebay was one of the first collectors to exhibit the primitive Ugandan Cowrie stamps.[4]
