'''Anna Eliza Bray''' ([[December 25]], [[1790]] - [[January 21]], [[1883]]) was a British [[novelist]].
She was the daughter of Mr J. Kempe, and was married first to C.A. Stothard, son of [[Thomas Stothard]], R.A., and himself an artist, and secondly to the Rev. E.A. Bray. She wrote about a dozen novels, chiefly historical, and ''[[The Borders of the Tamar and Tavy]]'' (1836), an account of the traditions and superstitions of the neighbourhood of Tavistock in the form of letters to [[Robert Southey]], of whom she was a great friend. This is probably the most valuable of her writings. Among her works are ''[[Branded]]'', ''[[Good St. Louis and his Times]]'', ''[[Trelawney]]'', and ''[[The White Hoods: an Historical Romance]]''.
