Biography

The earliest census record for Margaret shows her as 7 years old at the 1851 census.^[1] Consistent with that she is still at home at age 27 in 1871.^[2]

Between 1871 and 1881 she married George Augustus Waller.^[3] The 1891 census shows the household including George's parents and daughter Minnie.^[4]

Early records with George show Margaret as born about 1851 (he was younger), but the 1911 census gives the correct date of Nov 1844. The 1911 census record is transcribed with their last name as "Willer" and Minnie's married last name as "Grice", which should be "Greer".^[5]

Margaret died in 1916.^[6]

There is a 20 cM DNA match between a descendant of Minnie Walker (daughter of this couple) and descendant of Margaret's father Caleb Yeomans. Of course 20 cM on one person is far from proof.
