Youngest Female MP died in office?

Can she be claimed to be the youngest female Member of the British Parliament to die in office? (Her age being 53 years 184 days - correct me if I miscount.) From trawling biographies in the category list of British Female MPs, I have not found anyone younger who was still in office at death. (Marion Phillips had lost her seat in 1931 when she died the following year aged 50.)Cloptonson (talk) 21:15, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Recently established answer is No - The Hon Mary Ada Pickford died in office aged 49 in 1934.Cloptonson (talk) 11:33, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Pickford's record has been overtaken by the recent homicide of Jo Cox at age 41 this week, having been elected in 2015.Cloptonson (talk) 22:29, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
