Jang the earlier post is correct you need the cert.

1871 Charles & Margaret are in Hutchesontownv also daughter Grace.

It looks like that Margaret died there 1872, no MMN.

Charles died Coylton 1875.

Hi Jan,
I have the death certificate but the handwriting is not all that clear. Also I have tried to crop it to put it on here without success (not very good at this sort of thing, sorry)

Basically it says  -  Margaret ? could be Leitch, widow of a Private Soldier - Parents are given as Robert Caldwell, Printer (deceased) and Margaret Caldwell m.s. Caldwell. The death was registered by her brother Robert Caldwell.

If you would like to see the entry for yourself please pm me and I can email it to you.

Hope this helps one way or another.

From Dorrie's details, could this be connected to Margaret?

www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYSG-3X1

James Leitch born 12 Jan 1824 in St Cuthberts to John Leitch and Margaret Caldwell

Also saw this 1841 entry:

Margaret Leitch 40 Paper Mill Rag Cutter
Agnes Leitch 18 Paper Mill Rag Cutter
Euphemia Mcdougal 27 Paper Mill Rag Cutter

Address: Kirkhill, Pennicuik

Added: From 1851, this Margaret in Pennicuik likely not connected as she is showing as unmarried www.freecen.org.uk/search_records/5903d5a3e9379091b1f3b481/margaret-leitch-1851-midlothian-penicuik-1797-?locale=en

From the National Archives, trying to check for military details for a John Leitch to firm up as to whether this could be the right details. Too many to guess unfortunately .

The only Robert Caldwell that I can see (for brother to Margaret and death informant) is a Robert born c. 1802 in Glasgow and living in Edinburgh.

I also think his parents are likely a Robert Caldwell and a Margaret THOMSON. Not unusual for people to forget details when reporting information to the registrar. This couple had a numbert of children in Edinburgh, including a Margaret in 1795 www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VQCH-3LN

Would be good to be able to check Robert's Snr's occupation from a good source to see if he showed as a printer by occupation.
