Mary Crawley/Michelle Dockery #4: "Because she doesn't care a fig about rules"
Welcome to the {4th} Mary Crawley || Michelle Dockery Appreciation Thread • • •
Mary Josephine Crawley the eldest daughter of Lord and Lady Grantham. She was born in 1892. In the first episode, the news of the deaths of her two cousins, James and Patrick, is a shock to her because it disrupts the family's strategy for dealing with the entail that requires the estate, incorporating her mother's large marriage settlement, as well as the title to pass to male heirs. The family had arranged that Mary would marry Patrick, second in line to the title after James, but Mary did not have strong feelings for him and questions whether she must even wear mourning. Early on in the series, she is seduced by a visitor to the house, Ottoman attaché Kamel Pamuk, who suddenly dies in her bed. Her infuriated mother and the housemaid Anna help her carry his body out of her room and back to his own in order to try to prevent a public scandal that would ruin her marriage prospects. • • • Dockery is the youngest of three daughters of Michael Dockery, a native of Athlone, Ireland, who worked his way up from driving a van to becoming a surveyor, and his wife Lorraine, is from Stepney, East London. After working as a driver, in his 50s, her father graduated in occupational hygiene and qualified as an environmental analyst, becoming the first person to survey the British bases in Antarctica. Dockery's great-grandmother Maud Malyon was born in 1910 in Newham, East London, and was a domestic servant. She was just 17 when she married grocer’s assistant William Henry Oakman, 18, at West Ham Register Office. "Haven't you heard ?

You'll have to thank Endless Love (Eugenia) for all that. She's amazing with graphics and colour.

BTW, did you guys read, that Michelle's new boyfriend is one of Allen Leech's best friends? It's John Dineen, Allen introduced her to him and he's Irish.
Handsome guy, does Allen have more friends like this? |

Thanks for the info Andorra.
I don't knew that: I just saw the pics of Michelle and his handsome boyfriend on last thread. Cool from Allen to introduce them to each other. Does he has others handsome friends: maybe Sophie or Laura are interested... |

TFTNT Scarlet!
Andorra, thanks for that bit of news. I knew he was Irish but didn't know Allen introduced them. I adore Lena Dunham. Jo cites Girls creator Lena Dunham as inspiration (‘Her success gives me goose bumps’). The script hasn’t been picked up yet, but is currently being read ‘by the right people’ and, with Michelle attached to produce and potentially star, it shouldn’t be long before it’s on our screens. This is when the family ties tighten. The project will truly be a Dockery affair, as they are keen to get Louise involved, too.

Along with Lady Violet, Mary is my favourite character...I adored Mary and Matthew and her relationships with her sister, Anna and Lady Violet. She is not the usual characters I like but I just like her independence and drive and her cutting remarks!
