She was a Labour councillor, for Rishton I think it was.

Re: Margaret McKay M.P.
So she was a local councillor but not locally born and bred?

Re: Margaret McKay M.P.
Apparently inbetween working in various local mills, and before she was chosen to go to Russia in 1927, she worked in the offices of a local newspaper.
If such things still exist, the Observer might have an archive to check, because although she doesn't name them, I presume it's the Accrington Observer.

 I like the cut of her jib. Hard working, principled, liked dressing up, lived in a tent, and an Ossy lass to boot. Her biography was an amazing book, though the second half was very heavily political.
