Margaret's date of birth is calculated from her age as shown in her death registration as of her date of death. This date, 8 September, 1839, compares reasonably well with her age as shown in the 1851 census in Waterloo Township where she is shown as age 12. The 1851 census was not begun until early January 1852, and the age question was: What is your age as of your next birthday?
