Hi,

I see from the 1851 census that Margaret was born about 1803 in Tranent

Found this on the IGI

Christening 10th April 1803 tranent

Margaret Cairns

Father Robert Cairns
Mother Margaret Polwart

Hope this helps

If Margaret died after 1855 you would get both parents names off her death record

Susan
Flucker, Rutherford, Linton all Newhaven, Leith Scotland
Dixon...North Sheilds and Barrow in Furness
Green...Durham and Barrow in Furness
Duffy...Edinburgh
Mangan...Edinburgh and County Cavan , Ireland
Galligan..Edinburgh and County Cavan, Ireland
