funny marriages


Wow or go Now:

Circumstance: The policeman’s daughter Mary Ann Sunman secured a plum job at White Lodge in Richmond Park. This was the country home of Fat Mary, Princess of Teck, and where the future Queen Mary grew up. They had apartments in Kensington Palace and this was the home (temporarily) of Harry Mark Puxley, the Under Butler. The Tecks fled England in 1883 and Mary Ann married Harry Mark. When they had their only daughter she was named Annie Adelaide after the Princess of Teck.
Source of this tale: 1881 census

I'd have had more excitement darning socks. Get the pair of knits off the site.
