	Re 1911 - Margaret may be a mistranscription. It may be that the transcriber mis-read "Mary" as "Marg" or Margt". Or the enumerator got confused with the mother's name being Margaret. EDIT: Have just had a look - curiosity got the better of me. The daughter Margaret is clearly written as Margaret, so it's probably a mistake by the enumerator. It's definitely the right family, as there's also a boarder with them: Catherine McAlpine, 18, single, factory worker at explosives works, born in Linlithgow. This is Catherine's birth, which makes her a sister of Margaret/Maggie, Joseph's wife.: MCALPINE CATHERINE mmn MCGREGOR F 1892 668 / 104 Linlithgow The father Joseph McMeechan is a railway engine driver, born in Linlithgow. In fact, the whole household is said to be born in Linlithgow. Their address in 1911 is 14 West Port, Linlithgow
