Notes - Margaret was presumably named after her deceased older sister. It was a common Scottish practice to re-use the name of a deceased child when naming later children in order to preserve that name in the family, especially if the child was named after a parent or grandparent in accordance to custom.
Margaret never married. (Becky Evoy, person correspondence)
