At first I thought this might be Margaret:

1861 census RG9; Piece: 3131; Folio: 26; Page: 45
Chandler St Preston, Lancs
William Wilson head m 41 labourer b North Meols, Lancs
Ellen Wilson wife m 38 housekeeper b Salinesbury (prob Salesbury) Lancs
Oliver 18 labourer
Grace 15 cotton weaver
Jane A 13 throstle spinner
Margaret 6 scholar
John 2 scholar
Thomas 3m infant

all children and sons and daughters, surname Wilson, b Preston.

.............but on further inspection Margaret's age may be mistranscribed and may say either 10 or 11 (where the top of the round bit of the 6 should be it has been written over). The same family in 1851 already has Margaret aged a couple of months, though it's possible I'm wrong about the age and the first Margaret died.

Does your Margaret's age stay constant after her marriage?
