Biography

I have very little info on this lady, only what can be found in NZ. Ive found no data/info on her husband, so I suspect, he died in Scotland, and Margaret immigrated with her children to NZ.

Update: Thanks to Ngaire -Familytreecircle website; Margaret's husband died 1857, and Margaret appears to have immigrated to Canterbury after this date. There appears to be 10 children.
