[I did not look at the actual register entries. That might be useful on a second visit to see if birthplaces were given and to better estimate Margaret’s birth year. Based on the page numbers, I estimate her birth year as abt. 1820.] Is this Maria the “second cousin” who later emigrated and married Samuel?
