I was brought up with the knowledge of this story all my life by my Romany family, only the first born was exposed to what we know as the truth on this, and being the first born I was told of this from a child all my life, My family have taken the truth to their grave till now, as my father laid dying he mentioned the murder three days before his death that i was brought up with,and told me to do what i feel i need to do on this old murder, so i shall start now.
Maria's name as some call her was not her name, she was brought over with her father as a child, they came with many other Romanys to work on the farms, the squire where they settled in polstead told them they must all register at ipswich in the name of William Vine for the males and Mary Vine for the females, As that would be easier for him to remember, Mary's father after registering was given a different name by the squire due to his experience of his work, thats where the name Marten came into this. Mary when she got older decided to call herself Maria when she would entertain the men by singing and dancing for them, Yes she had a son at an early age by a married man, Yes she did get pregnant by one of the squires son's and had his son but that child died, it was when the squire and his son died that Mary picked up with William Coulder the squires last son, whom promised her the world but treated her badly, she became pregnant by him and gave birth to a daughter, where Coulder convinced her that she faces prison for having another child out of wed lock and she must give the baby up, But they shall marry and when things have settled she can get the baby back, but to say to people the baby was sick and died, Mary gave the child to relatives whom took the child to Cork in Ireland, when Coulder thought the coast was clear he avoided Mary, and they made arrangements to meet in the barn, where he told her he would not marry her, an argument started and Mary stated she was going to expose Coulder to his mother and about their daughter and how the baby was entitled to the estate being of his blood, and she will get the baby back, this is the reason he murdered her as he did not want a Romany bastard child having a claim on what was his. (Thats why NO body of the baby was ever found)It was her father whom had the visions and Romany men would not admit they have psychic abilities so the current wife of Marys father claimed she saw the visions, No body of the child was ever found due to the fact the child never died, Coulder being the nasty evil person he was still denied his child up till he was hanged, thinking he would get away with the murder and that the child had gone, The child was brought back to the UK but in those days DNA did not exist and Coulder was now dead, So the relatives travelled down with the child to Bexleyheath where she always knew about her parents and what her father did to her mother, she was nicknamed "Queenie" but named Mary Vine after her mother, where she lived out her days never forgiving her father for the evil he did, and knowing he even tried to blame one of their own for her mothers death, Even till this day Coulder has been cursed to hell and his death mask and book in his skin shall always remain on display, he deserves no mercy at all, Now ask me how I know all of this? I shall tell you Mary Vine and William Coulder were my Fathers Great Great Grand parents. And all of Coulders assets is classed as Blood money in our eyes as he took the life of one of our own and will never be forgiven for this.
