Biography
Margaret was born in Camperdown, Nova Scotia, in on 7 Dec 1875.[1]
Her parents were from Nova Scotia as well.
She came to the United States in 1892.
Margaret married John S. Beaton in 1897 or 1898 in the US.[2] Catherine was born soon after.
At the time of the 1930 census the 54-year-old widowed Margaret was the head of a large household at Castle Gate North, Wayland, Massachusetts. She had her daughter Pearl and son-in-law Edward and their five children. She also had her sons John and Alexander, and her adopted daughter Thelma. Nobody seemed to have a job except Edward.
Margaret adopted her granddaughter Thelma because Thelma's mother Hilda needed to return to Canada when Thelma was just a baby. By the time Hilda returned to the US, young Thelma had been living with Margaret for two years and the family didn't want to confuse her. In later life, Thelma took care of Margaret.[3]

The couple behind Margaret Maryann(Wambolt) must be Margaret's daughter Hilda with her husband Steward Oldford.

[thank Marjorie]
To add to the Margaret Maryann(Wambolt) Beaton story and her children Pearl, Hilda (Oldford), Catherine (Harrison), John and Alexander. Her Son John married Thelma and had a daughter named Margaret Beaton who was two years old, according to the 1940 census, living with John's sister Pearl Beaton and her husband Edward James McGuirk. They had 7 sons, the eldest of whom is also named Edward James McGuirk born Feb 19, 1920. According to Edward James McGuirk, he and his six brothers treated Margaret like a little sister. Little Margaret had other siblings Edward, Johnny, and George. It's not clear if they lived with their father John and Thelma. The Funeral Card for Margaret Wambolt Beaton says she lived with her grand-daughter Mrs. James W. Midgette of Ashland.
