Margot Neville

Margot Neville was the name adopted by Australian writers Margot Goyder (1896–1975) and her sister Ann or Anne Neville Goyder Joske (1887–1966) for their work: short stories, plays and humorous novels, before they became known for a series of murder mysteries, featuring Inspector Grogan and Detective Sergeant Manning. Much of their work, including some full-length novels, appeared in ''The Australian Women's Weekly'', then the country's foremost publisher of light fiction.

The Goyder sisters were members of a family well-known in Melbourne and Launceston, being daughters of Charles Edmund Goyder and granddaughters of Frederick Charles Goyder. Assertions that they were nieces of George Goyder, Surveyor-General of South Australia, can be discounted. and George Goyder worked together in New South Wales, naming the Gwydir River, are unsupportable.}} For more family details see below.
