Mary went into mourning, moved away and took a job as a nurse in Sunderland where she met George Ward. He fell in love with her, much to his misfortune, and they had not been married long when the same illness that took her children and first husband took him too. She went on the move again until she married James Robinson but to his luck he had caught her stealing and threw her out of the house. She left for Northumberland where she met Frederick Cotton. He asked her to marry him soon after they met not realizing she was already married, a fact that did not bother her, which she accepted the proposal.
