Cassandra,
Thanks
Poor Margaret's life isn't getting any better,a Parochial lodging house sounds like the poor house or something to me.

So it's Mary then,with so many kids they probably forgot what they christened her!
I think that your right she was Mary in the 1861 census,
I'm beginning to feel really sorry for poor old Margaret

Mary is age 10 on that one,Margaret was born 1857 and christened on 27 feb.
unless the enumerator wrote the age down wrong,
she should have been about three 1861,what a puzzle all of the other children are there, and the one that i think proves its the correct family is the son George Dinnas Macgregor,i can't see two people form the same place at the same time being called that.
The 1871 does have the correct place of birth, i suppose as she was the last born they may not have been able to keep another child,the granny or sister or someone could have brought her up!
