Margaret is the eldest daughter of ? and ?. Her two younger sisters are Gertrude, an ill-tempered spinster, and Matilda, Viscountess Delamere.
Though quite beautiful and very polite, Margaret was never known for her willpower or the ability to express her opinion, and she spent most of her life obeying the will of first her parents, then her husband, and now her daughter Jane. The only two instances in which she has proved to possess an ounce of willpower were when she firmly demanded that the condition of her first son Richard should be kept secret, and when she sent her younger son Thomas to live with his half-grand-uncle, Colonel Sterne, instead of being brought up under the influence of the only sane man around: Percival Middleton, Jane's wealthy - merchant of a - husband.
Currently, Margaret spends most of her time at Essex Manor with her son, Richard.
