Vicky, I hope it's not either!

Still drawing a blank with the plaster cast of her head .... and now with the pic of her outside St Mary's Infirmary which is now St Mary's building on Chester Road, Sunderland.

The infirmary was not called St. Mary's, that was the name of the Catholic School, which opened in the old building in 1902. After the Infirmary closed in 1867 it was sold to the Primitive Methodists who opened it as a Theological Training Institute in 1868.

Well .... I only care about the plaster cast!!!

In Tony Whitehead's book... he says that there were two casts made.  One was kept within the prison but lost, and the other has never been found.

Someone has them.... and I want to see them!
Someone knows where they are!

Sorry Stan,


Don't mean to be rude.  I just hate it when I can't find something I want!

Surely a photo would have been taken of her for her prison record sheet? just like they did with the Northumberland prisoners.  ???

Dear Rewcastle,
                         I note with interest the messages concerning Mary Ann Cotton. Have a look at this excellent website address, it gives an insight into parts of her trial at Durham Crown Court in 1873, and also the last few minutes of her life before her execution. The extracts are from a biography written by an author who has paramount and unknown information concerning MAC. The manuscript is by all accounts over 427 pages and as yet unpublished, and relates information not known by Appleton or Whitehead in their books. By all accounts the author has to date collected, documents, photographs and other official documents to support this biography, all apparently new to this debate.

Regards

Bertram Gregson.
Mary Ann Cotton.
