Mary is the name used at the end of WDMTGTS for Mrs Walker.
In P&M the Great Aunt (Maria Turner) writes to Mary,
who is Mrs Blackett......
add to that Mary Swainson who is mentioned on the previous page
and it all gets a bit confusing.
PS I have checked "Collins Gem Dictionary of First Names" and it says
under "Molly" "see Mary".
