The CUWFA formed in 1908 to work peacefully and constitutionally for ‘the removal of the sex disqualification from the franchise’ by bringing Conservative and Unionist’s together. Ada was very active for the CUWFA’s Leamington branch, attending numerous suffrage society meetings and travelled down to London to participate in the Women’s Coronation Procession in June 1911. The procession was organised by suffrage societies to rival the official Coronation procession of George V from which women were excluded. Approximately 40,000 women from around 30 women’s suffrage societies participated, and the procession was seven miles long. Despite the CUWFA and its members commitment to peaceful methods of campaigning, many law-abiding women like Ada were losing patience with the Liberal government and becoming more sympathetic to the often illegal and sometimes violent tactics used by the suffragettes. Ada's feelings are captured on her 1911 census return when she writes ‘non-militant suffragist (at present)’ under her name. This tells us that Ada was at a crossroads between the non-militant and militant paths in 1911. What did she decide? We can’t say for certain, but there is no evidence yet to suggest she engaged in illegal activity thereafter, or that she joined a more militant society like the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) which had a branch in Leamington at that time. Ada also wrote ‘Votes for women’ in every margin of her census return in protest at the government's refusal to allow her a voice through the vote, thus denying her rights as a citizen. After its collection, and unbeknown to her, someone, probably the census agent, wrote ‘No’ in front of each 'Votes for Women' declaration in the margins, thus mounting his own counter protest.

Like many local campaigners, Mary believed women’s suffrage should be achieved using law abiding, nonviolent methods. She wrote regular letters to the Leamington Spa Courier and helped to arrange numerous conferences and public meetings for the societies Midland’s Federation. She travelled as a delegate to NUWSS conferences in Birmingham, Manchester and London. In June 1911, she also accompanied other Leamington women and men down to London to take part in the Women’s Coronation Procession. The procession was organised to rival the official Coronation procession of George V from which women were excluded. Approximately 40,000 women from around 30 women’s suffrage societies participated, and the procession was seven miles long. Mary led a very full and active life and is a well-known figure locally in Leamington. She was a well published writer and historian having left Lady Margaret Hall Oxford in 1888 with a first-class English degree (although degrees for women were not formally acknowledged until 1920). She subsequently became an English teacher and wrote books, plays and lectured at local universities. She records herself on the 1911 census as ‘historical and topographical writer’. In 1899, Mary became the first woman to present a paper, The Manuscript Record of Coventry, to the Birmingham and Warwickshire Archaeological Society and was the first woman to address the Leamington Literary Society, founded in 1912. In 1922, she became a member of the Warwick & Leamington Dramatic Study Club, the forerunner of the Loft Theatre of which she was a founder member. She was continually active in social causes including her role as Vice-President of the Workers’ Education Association and was also a supporter of the local League of Nations Association, the forerunner of the United Nations. Leamington Literary Society sponsored a Blue Plaque in her memory situated on her house in Gaveston Road. Sadly, Mary was killed in a traffic accident in March 1936.

She boarded with her mother Jane in rooms at Langton House, Leamington. However, when the census was taken on the 2nd of April 1911, Mary was absent from Langton House, visiting friends in Kent. Mary described herself on the census as living on ‘private means’ though she described herself elsewhere, as a writer. Mary was committed to peaceful methods of campaigning for the vote, using traditional means such as petitions and lobbying politicians. She did not agree with the militant tactics used by members of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) led by Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst. It seems likely that Mary became involved with suffrage politics following her experiences in the municipal elections in 1909. Some forty years earlier, women had been granted the right to vote in local elections, so long as they met residential criteria. The local press reported in September 1909, that Miss Vellacott had cast her vote in the elections, but had it queried (along with several men) by the election agents for Liberal and Conservative council members. They tried to have her vote invalidated because she did not meet residential qualifications. Mary countered, pointing out that she had lived at Langton House for nine years, had her own gas meter and paid extra to the Landlord for sole use of a sitting room. Mary won this battle for the vote. The agents challenge was dismissed and her vote allowed to stand. Thereafter she threw herself into working for the suffrage cause. She attended numerous conferences and demonstrations across the Midlands as well as in Manchester and London. She also addressed meetings and wrote regularly to the local press. In March 1911, as Honorary Secretary of the local branch, Mary addressed the Annual Meeting of the NUWSS at Leamington, where she remarked happily upon the four Women’s Suffrage Societies that now had branches in Leamington, and how well the Leamington and Warwick branch of the NUWSS was represented within the Midland Federation Committee. In June 1911, Mary travelled down to London to take part in the Women’s Coronation Procession. The procession was organised by suffrage societies to rival the official Coronation procession of George V from which women were excluded. Approximately 40,000 women from around 30 women’s suffrage societies participated, and the procession was seven miles long. Mary was also present at a meeting in Leamington’s ‘Winter Hall’ (now Leamington Public Library) in November 1911 when the Leamington and Warwick branch of the NUWSS joined forces with other suffrage societies including the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) to lobby MP Ernest Pollock in support of the second Conciliation bill.
