Bio:
Anna Maria Grey was born in 1823 in Brinckburn, Northumberland to Lt. Colonel John Grey and novelist Catherine Maria Grindall Grey.
As a young woman, Anna Maria wrote five novels, three of which were edited by her mother. Her eldest sister, Mary Caroline Grey, also wrote a novel.
Anna Maria married Charles Baynes, the owner of a cement works, in 1861, and stopped writing. She died in Hampstead in 1888.
Anna Maria's works are often tangled up in the "Mrs. Grey conundrum". There were five "Mrs. Grey"s (Mary Caroline, Elizabeth Caroline, Catherine Maria, Anna Maria, and Mary Georgina) publishing novels at the same period and their works are often confused.
