Margaret Stocks née Margaret McKane (1895-1985) was an English badminton and tennis player. She was born in London in 1895, and she married Andrew Denys Stocks in 1921. She came to prominence the same year when winning the All England women's doubles badminton title with her younger sister Kitty McKane. The following year, the sisters reached the 1922 Wimbledon Championships women's doubles final, losing to Suzanne Lenglen and Elizabeth Ryan.[1] The sisters won an All England badminton doubles title in 1924, and Stocks became the singles champion in 1925.
