Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
with arsenic.
She was 20 when she married William
Mowbray, a miner, and they had four
children. William went to sea as a stoker
and died suddenly while at home, as did
the four children.
Mary, now a grieving widow, got a job as
a nurse in Sunderland Infirmary where
she met George Wood. He married her
but did not live long. Mary collected the
insurance money and met James
Robinson, a man with four children. They
were married in 1867 and all of his four
children died, as well as the new baby
that Mary had. Once more Mary collected
the insurance and married Frank Cotton.
He had two children by his first wife and a
new baby by Mary. Frederick died
suddenly as did all his children. Mary now
had a new lover, a man called Natrass,
but he died too of Gastric Fever,
according to Mary.
The local doctor, Dr. Kilburn, became
suspicious and in 1873 Mary was brought
to Durham Assizes. She was found guilty
and hanged at Durham Jail.
