Margaret was the 2nd child of William Calder and Margaret Calder. The family emigrated to South Africa on 3 March, 1891, sailing on "Warwick Castle" from London. However, Margaret is missing from the passenger manifest and she would have been only 7 when they sailed. Did this happen often? We know she was in S. Africa as she married there (they all lived in Durban) although she did appear to travel a lot with her husband, James Mitchell (noted as 'Buyer' on the marriage registration). She eventually ended up back in Scotland. Her husband died in Johannesburg in 1938. It just seems strange to me that all the other children (apart from William, the youngest and only son of the union, who was born 7 months after the family arrived) should be carefully registered and yet they would miss one. Maybe the one who registered them on board was overwhelmed by the number of daughters?!!
