Yorkshire Witch

Mary Bateman was born around 1768. Mary got married and then the two fell into tough times so doing what she could for money she became a 'wise woman' or a 'cunning woman' meaning she could cure people, change the weather and had other abilities. Around 1806 Mary met husband and wife William and Rebecca Perigo. After the meeting all of their lives would change. Thanks for listening.
