Additional Comment: Sad to note that Margaret, like so many others, became a young and early war widow. Having married in June 1914, her husband signed up months later and was dead before 1915 was out. Margaret never remarried. The fact that her nephew 'PD Blair' was the informant on her death leads to the possibility that there were no children, but of course its possible that she outlived a child. Sad.
