| Note | Baptism information for Margaret Buchanan and several siblings is taken from microfilm LCM-30, First United Church Records, Baptisms 1833-1852. The Buchanan siblings appear to have been baptised at First Church in Galt, at the time a Presbyterian Church, in two batches. Four were baptised on November 5th, 1834, and five on November 19th, though the date in the margin is almost obscure. This appears on microfilm LCM-30 which is to be found at the United Church of Canada Archives. (A perpetual calendar shows both of these dates as a Wednesday.)

McKenzie. The date for Margaret's birth is taken from the bible of Theron Buchanan. Information for Margaret's day of burial is to be found on a funeral card made available by the City of Cambridge Archives. This shows her death to have been at the family residence on Spruce Street on Friday morning, June 16th, at 5:30. Her funeral is to be from her late residence on Saturday afternoon at 4:15. From her residence she is to be taken to Mountview Cemetery. That she and John are buried in Section 3 of Mountview is taken from a transcription of this cemetery as provided by the Waterloo branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. |
