Mrs. Hudson is a recurring secondary character in the Sherlock Holmes stories, and often features in many adaptations.

Canon

Mrs. Hudson is the landlady of Holmes and Watson, and also often serves the purpose of their housekeeper, making Holmes and Watson meals and cleaning their rooms.

First Name

Mrs. Hudson is never specifically given a first name in book canon. Although, many speculate that her first name is Martha, because in the story The Last Bow Holmes gets assistance from an elderly woman named Martha who goes undercover, spying on a man while she works in his household. Many speculate that this was Mrs. Hudson, but that is never made clear. In BBC's Sherlock she is given the first name of Martha, thus making it canon in that universe.

Fandom

Mrs. Hudson is rarely the focus of fanworks on her own. Although, she will often appear as a secondary or background character in fanworks focused on Holmes and Watson.
