 MARY ANNE CLARKE - LoveToKnow Article on MARY ANNE CLARKE
The dukes promised allowance was not regularly paid, and to escape her financial difficulties Mrs Clarke trafficked in her protectors position, receiving money from various promotion-seekers, military, civil and even clerical, in return for her promise to secure them the good services of the duke.
Her procedure became a public scandal, and in 1809 Colonel Wardle, M.P., brought eight charges of abuse of military patronage against the duke in the House of Commons, and a committee of inquiry was appointed, before which Mrs Clarke herself gave evidence.
The result of the inquiry clearly established the charges as far as she was concerned, and the duke of York was shown to have been aware of what was being done, but to have derived no pecuniary benefit himself.

She was the mother of my great grandmother Catherine Clarke or Peever who married Thomas Beswick II of Tasmania and lived her last 30 years at "Florence Vale", Derby, that is, on the oldest part of the farm where I grew up.
The story of finding Catherine's mother and her identification as Mary Ann Clarke, also known as Mary Ann and Ann Mary Ray, the convict from Liverpool born at Dromore in Ireland is told in the web page "Mary Ann's Tattoo".
One possible explanation for Mary Ann Clark adopting the name Ray is that she might have married John Ray although she was recorded as being single in the convict records.
