Hi CaroleW,
I cannot place the Margaret Beggs b. 1852 who left for New York in 1897 but a wild guess is that she could be the wife of James D. Beggs and they were living in Indiana. If the wife of James, then her maiden name was Truitt. Then again, could be a hundred  different Margarets. 
The 1881 marriage with father John Beggs is not her. The one to Robert McConnell is not her as per previous postings on this site about that marriage. According to the family tree in Maryland, the marriage to Andrew Mearns or to William Todd is not her, unless the tree is wrong.
Thanks everyone for your help.

After much more searching, I am wondering if it was Elizabeth Beggs that married Robert Graham, not her sister Margaret. Can anyone find a marriage of Elizabeth Beggs to Robert Graham, after April 1880. Her parents Thomas Beggs and Margaret Boyd, living in Douglasland by then, or depending on date of marriage, Elizabeth could be living Belfast.
Elizabeth was single in 1880 when her uncle's will was finalized.
Thanks for any help

I am still looking for this marriage of Margaret Beggs to Robert Graham. I have paid for many marriages without finding the correct one. I did find the will of a Robert Graham in Drummadaragh, who could be the father of the Robert who married my Margaret as the area is right and the timing about right and he did have a son Robert as per the will. Most of Margaret's siblings were married in Kilbride Presbyterian so marriage probably there. Margaret was born July 31, 1852 so marriage not likely before 1873 but if you go by the will of her uncle in Maryland, she was probably single until after final accounting on Apr 5, 1880. Can anyone find her marriage?
Thanks for any help.

Another possible coincidence of the will of Robert Graham who died in 1864. One of the executors was Thomas Service and my Margaret's nephew Thomas Robinson married Sarah Service on July 12, 1904, although I don't know who her father was.  Still thinking Margaret may have married this Robert Graham's son Robert as it is exactly the right area. Still wondering if in Kilbride Presbyterian.
Thanks

Hi,
   According to the Ulster Historical Foundation site Sarah Service's father was William Service and Thomas Robinson's father was James Robinson.
