Bessy Bell And Mary Gray
Bessy Bell and Mary Gray are "twa bonnie lassies", the subject of one of the Child Ballads, based on a true story. The two young women sought refuge from the plague in 1645 in a remote spot away from habitation. The story has been much embellished in a poem and ballad that were written many years later. According to the ballad, Bessy and Mary were daughters of two Perthshire gentlemen, who in 1666 built themselves a bower to avoid catching a devastating plague. The girls were supplied with food by a lad in love with both of them; the lad caught the plague and gave it to them, and all three sickened and died. The supposed site of Bessie Bell and Mary Gray's bower, and of their grave, is recorded in a c.1860 Ordnance Survey name book, with the following comments: :This grave is situated on the north side of the Almond, and about half a mile West of Lynedoch house. Bessie Bell, according to the common tradition, was daughter to the Laird of Kinvaid, and Mary Gray, of the Laird ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

She found work as a domestic servant, and in 1876 married Willie Gray, a stonemason and trade unionist. Because of his trade union activity, Willie was often unable to find work, and the couple lived in hardship for some time. In 1887, Gray joined the Social Democratic Federation (SDF). During the London dock strike of 1892, she ran a soup kitchen, and this contact with the children of the workers led her to found one of the first Socialist Sunday Schools, intending that they would provide a general education, in addition to informing them about socialism. The first session consisted of her own two children and one other, but the movement grew rapidly, and twenty years later there were 120 schools around the country. During the 1890s, Edith Lanchester lodged with Gray. Gray was elected to the Battersea Board of Guardians ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
