Margaret was born in Liverpool. At age four and a half her father took the family on a world tour sailing for Quebec and Montreal and later traversing Canada by train to Vancouver. From here they sailed via Honolulu and New Zealand to Sydney, returning via Freemantle, Cape town and Las Palmas.
Initially reluctant to attend College, Margaret eventually agreed and later went on to Manchester University to study Drama. She studied at night school to qualify as a member of the Stock Exchange and worked at Tilney, one of Liverpool’s biggest brokers, before moving to a Manchester firm where she became the first woman member of the Manchester Exchange at the age of 27.
From stockbroking, Margaret’s career took a further turn to law, in which field she worked through and on into retirement.
Over the years, Margaret undertook an enormous amount of charitable work assisting over twenty national and international charities.
