Margaret's residence is presented on the registration as being in Michigan. It looks suspiciously as though it might be for Meldrum Bay (Manitoulin Island), Ontario. Certainly, Carrie Walker's residence is given as Meldrum Bay, Ontario, and Carrie is Margaret's sister.

It does appear that the given name of Charles' mother, Amelia, is more correctly Pamelia.

The Manitoulin Genealogy website has a transcription of at least some stones in Meldrum Bay Cemetery. Recorded by them are the stones of Joseph and Margaret. Joseph's years of birth and death are given as 1878 - 1955, and Margaret's as 1876 - 1953.

Some other Walker stones are recorded. These apparently include the gravestones of Margaret's parents, Samuel and Jane.
