Mary Ann Teale

Mary Ann Teale was a nosy neighbour of the Oldroyds. Mary attended Albert Oldroyd's funeral in 1914, and gossiped about his daughter Margaret with Ava Bainbridge, Joan Carr and Betty Porter. Mary Ann was the only one who didn't make a rude comment about the way Margaret reacted to Albert's death, instead asking her friends if Margaret knew her old flame Ralph Verney had returned to Beckindale.
