Margaret Elizabeth Byham (1865-c 1913) was born in Jul 1865, the daughter of George Byham (principal of the British War Office) and Mary Elizabeth Woods. She was a member of both the Women's Social and Political Union and the Church League for Women's Suffrage. Before leaving her hometown of Ealing in 1907, she was the Honorary Secretary of the local branch of the Metropolitan Association for Befriending Young Servants. She was the Honorary Treasurer of the Women's March from Edinburgh to London in 1912, one of the six who completed the journey in its entirety and accompanied Florence de Fonblanque to the door of 10 Downing Street to present the petition for women's suffrage. She subsequently became the Honorary Treasurer of the 'Qui Vive' Corps that was founded after the march had been completed and which contained members of all suffrage societies.

The photostat copies of the papers were given to the Greater London Record Office (now London Metropolitan Archives) in 1963 by Mrs June Byham (wife of Margaret Byham's great nephew, Jeremy Byham) and were transferred to The Women's Library in 1995.

Transferred to the Fawcett Library by the London Metropolitan Archives in 1995.
