Biography

Margaret (David) McIntyre OBE MLC is Notable.

Margaret David was born in 1886 at or about West Maitland in New South Wales in what would later become Australia. She was the eldest daughter of Tannatt William Edgeworth David, a geological surveyor from Wales, and his English-born wife Caroline Martha, née Mallett.

Margaret David married Dr. William Keverall McIntyre at St John's Church of England Church in Ashfield, New South Wales, Australia in about 1909. They soon moved to Tasmania, where her husband set up medical practice. The couple had four children, including social reformer and poet Anne Godfrey-Smith.

Margaret Edgeworth McIntyre (nee David) OBE was the first woman elected to the Parliament of Tasmania, representing the seat of Cornwall in the Legislative Council. Unfortunately only six months after her election, while returning from a National Council of Women of Australia Conference in Brisbane, she was killed in an airplane crash near Quirindi in New South Wales on 2 September 1948. She was only aged 61 and was laid to rest in the Tamworth General Cemetery, Tamworth, New South Wales.
