Do we hear about Mary Swainson's mother anywhere? I don't recall such an occasion; she appears to live with her grandparents. If I'm remembering correctly, it's possible either that both her parents died at some point in the past (war, pandemic or other causes) or that they live elsewhere but Mary is caretaker for her grandparents. As you say, we'll never know.
