TIP

When giving info found on censuses, don't abbreviate the names. It means that people look for the wrong records

I've had a look and it says her mother was Margaret Carnehan, oat cake baker so it looks like Magaret Jane was her mother.
Williamina died at 156 Caledonia Rd, Glasgow. She was the widow of John Hamilton Irwin, police constable.
