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. For more family details see below.

''The Argus''s main competitor was David Syme's more liberal-minded newspaper, ''The Age''. History The newspaper was originally owned by William Kerr, who was also Melbourne's town clerk from 1851–1856 and had been a journalist at the ''Sydney Gazette'' before moving to Melbourne in 1839 to work on John Pascoe Fawkner's newspaper, the '' Port Phillip Patriot''.
