Hi there,
Found this on my travels looking for Margaret.
Margaret McMillan on the 1851 Scotland census living
at Port William, Wigtownshire.
James McMillan born 1824
Mary Ann                1826
Margaret        6         1845 at Mochrum, Wigtonshire
Robert            3        1848
William           1        1850

Seems that Margaret McMillan married a James Arbuckle in 1865 and had three children
He seems to disappear to Canada, then she marries a Thomas Topping and has three
sons by him.  I notice on the 1901 census of the Topping family in Walker, at the bottom
of the list of family and borders there is a Joseph K Arbuckle aged 1 so she kept in
touch with the family by the looks of it.

Hope this helps
