Excerpt from Biographical Introduction Elizabeth Cleghorn Within a month of her birth, her mother died, and after a week's delay, the infant was taken down to Knutsford, to be placed under the care of her mother's sister, Mrs. Lumb. There she grew lip amid modest surroundings, and became the companion of her aunt's crippled daughter. The child must have been one of those quiet acute observers who photograph scenes and characters upon their memory. Knutsford was to become famous as "Crani'ord," and its quaint characters, and their mode of life, live before us as undoubted realities. In her kind aunt's unpretentious home, with its old-fashioned garden, the future novelist took in abundant material for her career. She was not, however, entirely disconnected with her father, for she paid several visits to Chelsea - during her girlhood ; but her father's second, and not happy, marriage rendered these visits sad rather than refreshing. About the age of fifteen, Elizabeth Stevenson was sent to school at Stratford-on-Avon, under a Miss Byerley; here she remained for two years, and gained some knowledge of Latin, French, and Italian. In 1827 she lost her only brother, John Stevenson, at sea; and his remarkable disappearance from the ship, of which lie was first officer, afterwards suggested a passage in "Cranford." Her father died in April, 1829, and from that time till her marriage Miss Stevenson divided her time between Newcastle-on-Tyne (where she stayed with Mr. Turner, a well-known Unitarian minister), Edinburgh, London, and Knutsford. Everywhere her beauty was remarked and admired, and at Edinburgh numerous painters and sculptors desired to take her portrait. When she first met her future husband, we are not told. On August 30th, 1832, a month before the completion of her twenty-second year, she married, at Knutsford Church, the Bev. William Gaskell, Unitarian minister in Manchester.
