On the 1861 Census Margaret is stated to have been born c. 1844 in Catterall. She is 17.

Catterall is very close to Garstang, so I think this might be a likely baptism:

Name: Margaret Whiteside
Gender: Female
Baptism/Christening Date: 31 Mar 1844
Baptism/Christening Place: St. Helen's Church, Garstang, Lancashire, England
Father's Name: Richard Whiteside

Mother's Name: Margaret

This is from the IGI pilot site.

Can you give us Robert and Margaret's children?

[Tilly Mint]

Thanks Elizabeth.

The children are William born c 1880, Alice born c 1870, Maria born c 1873 and Robert born c 1876.
I know Maria married a James Abel Stinchcombe and they had a son, Arthur.

I think that Margaret might have died in 1892 in Lancaster. There are two possible entries:

Mar 1892
Johnson Margaret 50 Lancaster 8e 664
Johnson Margaret 50 Lancaster 8e 647

I can't find Robert in 1911 at present. He might have died by then.

[Tilly Mint]

I wonder if this is Roberts death....June 1910 Ormskirk, aged 75, 8b 513 ?
I seem to remember some talk of Ormskirk.....not sure if it was about Robert though..
