• Notes

  Margaret was born in Tremore, County Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland, however no such place has been found. It may be a corruption of Dromore in Omagh parish, or Tremoge in Termonmaguirk parish. Margaret came from a very poor family. All but one of her brothers died in the Crimean War. We know that Margaret could not write as she only made her mark on her daughter, Margaret's, birth registration. The marriage record for Margaret and her second husband, Thomas Gilliland, indicates that her parents' names were William & Mary Harten. However, Harten family correspondence confirms that Margaret's parents were David Harten and Mary Ann Jackson from Belfast, Ireland. The error in the marriage record was likely caused by Thomas Gilliland giving the testimony and mistaking his wife's living in-laws for her deceased parents' names. As Margaret presumably could not read as well as write then it is presumed she did not notice the error.
