Biography:
PULLEINE, Marianne, later HINCKS (1807-88: ancestry.co.uk)
She was born on 23 Dec. 1807 and baptised on 3 Jan. 1808 at St. John’s, Stanwick, Yorkshire, one of ten children of Henry Percy Pulleine (1770-1833), magistrate and owner of first Carleton Hall and then Crake Hall, Hambleton, Yorkshire, and his wife Elizabeth Askew (1770-1839), who had married in 1796. Her parents, her brother the Rev. Robert Pulleine (1806-68), Rector of Spennithorne, and one of her sisters subscribed to Poems by M. P.(1833). She married Thomas Cowper Hincks (1788-1865), army officer and later magistrate, on 17 Sept. 1835 at Bedale, Yorks., with her brother performing the service. They had four daughters and a son. She remained in Yorkshire all her life apart from a trip to Germany before she married. She died on 22 June 1888 and was buried with her husband (who had died in 1865) at her brother’s church of St. John the Baptist, Kirby Wiske, where there is still a grave. She appears not to have published further after her marriage, as was conventional. Her poems exhibit the dual filiation of 1830s Evangelical Romanticism with topographical poems ("Lines on a View of Wensleydale," "Exile on the Rhine") and poems on sacred sites ("On the Passage of the Red Sea," "By the Waters of Babylon").
