The 1911 census suggests she was born in Salford but I couldn't spot a birth there. But if I have the right person 1901 suggests Manchester.

His great grandmother was Ada Winterbottom, nee MacCormac, born c.1884. Birthplace uncertain but believed to be Scotland. She was married to William Edward Winterbottom in 1907 in Salford and had 3 daughters Ada 1909, Lilian 1910 and Doris 1911. She is said to have been the first secretary of the Cooperative Society, a suffragette and the first female magistrate of JP in Salford. His great grandfather was a Henry Clarke a painter and sign writer on the Railway.(officially not doing a Banksie).Harry's wife's name seems to have been forgotten. His son Roy 1908 was a Freemason in the Duke of Lancaster Lodge.He married Doris, the daughter of Ada and William Edward Winterbottom. Can anyone tell me how I may verify any or all of this information?
