MARY HINDLEY (1848-1933) 1848MARY/4 s father, Samuel Plumb, was a tenant small farmer, 10acres or so, and Cow Jobber (Dealer). Memories. In the early 1900s, and after had retired, he and Mary were living at 35 Chapel Lane, Stockton Heath. June Harrison, a great granddaughter, printed the following tales in 1997. It was here that their grandchildren, by their son, used to visit them. According to my father, they walked all the way from to Stockton Heath just for a bit of fried bread. This, of course, is the story he used to tell my sister and when he was trying to instil in us how lucky we were and that we shouldn t waste good food. My mother always said that he was exaggerating, and that in fact his mother was one of the best cooks in the County, and there were always hams smoking in the chimney breast, etc. etc. In fact many, many years later when we took my octogenarian father to visit his older sister, they were reminiscing about how they loved going to visit their grandparents, and didn t really mind the long walk, especially as grandma always used to make them the most delicious fried bread, which was something their mother didn t cook for them. After s death in 1914 Mary returned to where she lived at Aaron s Cottage, with Jane Plumb, who was the widow of Mark Plumb. (Mark was one of the sons of Peter and Eunice whose exact relationship to the rest of the Plumbs of has not so far been established.) Mark s sister Hannah was, however, married to Matthew Plumb who was s half brother, so a relationship had been established by the younger generations. In any case, Jane and Mary may well have been friends regardless of their family connections. Jane died in 1930, and then Mary moved again, to live at The Wheatsheaf with her son and family. She died 3 years later, and was greatly loved by all her grandchildren. My father was very sad that he missed her funeral as he was working in Norfolk at the time of her death, and by the time the letter telling him finally caught up with him it was too late for him to make the long journey back to. Geoffrey Williams, a grandson of Jonas, Mary s sister, says that he saw Great Aunt Mary Plumb many times, and found her a delightful old lady with a great sense of humour. Mary was greatly loved by all her grandchildren.
