About Mary Gates

Contray to almost every account of Mary, she WAS engaged in the polyamorous behavior of the Battle-Axes
(see <timeline> and sources)
For identification of her given name, Mary, see

We see that the newspaper correspondent wrote that Mary engaged in the polyamorous Battle Axe behavior.
Public Ledger 24 Feb 1843, Fri · Page 1

Somewhat unsurprisingly, neither do Mary nor her husband ever appear in any census data.... Perhaps they liked to remain below the radar, so to speak.

There is one candidate census (1840 Dock Ward) which would be a match, if the age of the male were different. Theophilous was not in his 70s
