Margaret Warren Mc Caughin was born 22 September 1924 - Baptised 19 Oct 1924 - St Stephen´s Episcopal Church. Philadelphia.
The birth date agrees with this one - could this be a possibility  ???  - Margaret W. Bacon - 22 Sept 1924 died 22 January 2002
Last Residence: 21228  Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland. SSN issued: Maryland (Before 1951)

Found 55 deaths of a Margaret born 22 September 1924 but only this one with the initial "W"  ??? Could really do with an obituary to prove or disprove  ???

There is an anc tree where someone shows that Margaret died in 1981. I have sent a message to that owner, asking if they could supply any further info.  Fingers crossed they may respond here.
