• Notes

  After her husband and she joined the Labour Party in 1924, Cynthia was elected Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Stoke-on-Trent in 1929 and her husband was elected for Smethwick at the same time. After finding the Labour Party unsuitable, Oswald formed the New Party on 1 March 1931 which Lady Cynthia also joined. The party soon adopted fascist policies and became less popular by the time of the sudden general election later that year. All the party's candidates in the 1931 election (including Lady Cynthia) lost their seat or failed to win in constituencies, instead seeing a unified coalition government which involved all main three parties' politicians amid the Great Depression. After their defeat, Lady Cynthia continued to support her husband in his fascist studies until her death in 1933 at age 34 after an operation for peritonitis following acute appendicitis, in London.
