the death mask of mary ann cotton was last see at hartlepool in the basement of a museum or library

the last ones that visited mary ann in jail not her stepfather george stott, held the key they where well up in the chapel and church in murton i asked the daughter in-law of one but she said that she had not looked in his belongings, she has since died and her 3 children still have a lot to do with the church and I'm trying to find out where they are living. my 4th great grand father used to nurse mary ann cotton on his knee when she was a child as they all travel around as sinkers also in durham goal a book went missing on the burial places of the prisoners that where hanged and was kept by the vicars this info will be denied

hi, to all looking for info on mary ann cotton nee robson here is some info on her & it is up to you to believe or not

arthur appleton the info in his book came from a very good man on mary

her father was killed down murton colliery & there is a death mask but i don't think it will surface just yet also there is a lot of info on mary still in murton but with a few family's don't speak to each other, it will stay hidden or burnt for these have there nose's that far up in the air and as mary cootons daughter, born in durham jail just was not given to any one this was all settled before her death
