YEN.com.gh notes that Mary said her father was horrified that she could contemplate marrying a black man.
She said: "The first years of our marriage living in Birmingham were hell - I cried every day, and barely ate. No one would speak to us, we couldn’t find anywhere to live because no one would rent to a black man, and we had no money."
Mary said she gave birth to a stillborn son at eight months, adding that it was due to stress.
The couple, who do not have any child after their stillborn son, have been married for 63 years, and are still very much in love.
Mary added: "I do not regret marrying him for an instant, despite all the pain we have suffered."
