Neither had I.

She was born the same year as my great aunt and uncle, and there are still lots of Catlows in Ossy, so surely someone must know something about her.

According to this her education was 'elementary only', so it would be interesting to know how a local mill girl got to sit as a MP in the House of Commons, dressed in Arab robes, pitched a Palestinian tent in Trafalgar Square, and had a Jordanian postage stamp issued in her honour.
