Margaret Roberts was born on 13 October 1925. Her father was Alfred Roberts, originally from Northamptonshire, and her mother was the former Beatrice Ethel Stephenson from Lincolnshire.[3] She spent her childhood in Grantham, Lincolnshire, where her father owned two grocery shops.[4] She and her older sister Muriel were raised in the flat above the larger of the two, located near the railway line.[4] Her father was active in local politics and religion, serving as an alderman and a Methodist lay preacher,[5] and brought up his daughter as a strict Methodist.[6] He came from a Liberal family but stood – as was then customary in local government – as an Independent. He lost his position as alderman in 1952 after the Labour Party won its first majority on Grantham Council in 1950.[5]
