BBC News By Jessica Black image captionMary Ann McCracken wrote of collecting for charities into her 10th decade Anti-slavery activist Mary Ann McCracken went door-to-door collecting for charity into her 10th decade, a cache of previously unpublished letters has revealed.

Northern Ireland-born researcher Dr Cathryn McWilliams has catalogued six-and-a-half decades of Mary Ann McCracken s correspondence.
