Elizabeth Gaskell died (12/11/1865)

English novelist, biographer and short story writer (born 1810).
"...industrial surroundings, workers' poverty, and social conflict provided the context for the social realism in her writing, and also for her dialect realism, which makes her an essential figure in any account of the language of nineteenth-century literature....she was scrupulous in her quest for accuracy in representing Lancashire speech. She complained to her publisher of errors in the first edition [of _Mary Barton_, 1848], made corrections, and gave glosses to dialect words and phrases, aided by her husband. The 5th edition (1854)added two lectures on Lancashire dialect by William Gaskell, really detailed accounts of its history and use, and full of literary precedents going back to Anglo-Saxon times."
Lancashire words mentioned: farrantly (comely), frabbit (peeved), mither (bother), adverbial "right" (right welcome). Singular nouns after numerals (two year), "nor" instead of "than" in comparatives, and non-standard morphology (agone, childer); she even uses "gotten"!
