Narrative

There was a marriage between Margaret McLellan and Neil Ramsay in 1840. Is this a mistake, or was she a widow Margaret Ramsay when she married Neil McArthur?

In 1881, Margaret said she was born in 1825, which makes it more likely she was the mother of the younger people in the household. However, her gravestone and later census records said born 1818.

If Margaret was older, it makes it more likely that the two youngest boys in the 1881 census were grandsons.

Margaret was living with her daughter Mary Jane McArthur Phillips in the 1901 census, age 84 and a widow.

Margaret McLellan, died 1903 at age 85, wife of Neil McArthur.
