Mary Annie Calverley was the daughter of my GreatGrandfather Frederick Clarkson Calverley. She was born in Darlington in 1876 (AKA - Polley). My cousin's daughter (only recently met
and myself, have a copy of a diary of my GGrandfather's and it seems he and his daughter had a falling out and lost touch. Mary Annie's mother died when Mary was a very little child and her father never quite got over his wife's death.
Mary Annie left home in her teens and I think I have found her on the 1901 census working as a barmaid in Newcastle (Frederick Clarkson Calverley's mother had family in Newcastle).
From The Diary, it appears Mary Annie's brother - Frederick William Calverley (in the Navy - my Grandad who I never met) wrote to their Dad trying to effect a reconciliation - to no avail.
I would dearly love to know what became of Mary Annie Calverley. Did she marry - does she have decendants out there who I would so love to get in touch with, I have lots of info to share and The Diary is a sad story which may shine some light on how the family came to be seperated.
I hope Mary has a descendant out there who may recognise her in this. Mary's Father came from Mickley in West Yorkshire, to work at the North Road Engine Works in Darlington, where he met and married Annie from Aycliffe - just North of Darlington.
Thank you anyone who can help - Angela
