Best Answer

Mary Godwin had already had two children by Shelley before they were married.

In 1814, she ran off to Europe with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, whose estranged wife Harriet was pregnant. Mary became pregnant but her baby was premature and died in February, 1815. She and Shelley were finally married in December, 1816, after Harriet had committed suicide, and Mary had given birth to a son, William.
