MARGARET (MARY) HAGERTY, daughter of JOHN HAGERTY and AGNES PATERSON, was born circa 1847 at Ireland. She is next recorded in Glasgow Scotland in 1864 when she is married at age 17. Obviously some time in-between she came to Scotland from Ireland. Although it is not known what part of Ireland her family came from, as the later family was know to be staunchly ProtestantS7 it is far more likely they were Scots-Irish or from the part of Ireland known as the Pale rather than native Gaelic catholic Irish.
The Irish potato famine occurred from 1845 to 1852 when Mary was aged 2 to 9, so it is possible her family may have emigrated from Ireland to escape it. Margaret's father is listed as dead on her marriage recordS4. It is not known whether he died after bringing Mary to Glasgow, or whether she came with her mother after his death. It is not known if Margaret had any brothers or sisters.
Margaret's mother Agnes Hagerty Paterson was still alive at the time of Margaret's marriage and being just 17, Margaret likely lived with her. Margaret lived a few doors down from her eventual husband Matthew. He was an orphan at that time.S4 It is easy to imagine the two of them meeting living so closely and having so much in common.
Marriage banns for MARGARET and MATTHEW BLACK, son of ROBERT BLACK and MARTHA ROSS, were published according to the ? of the ? Church of Scotland on 22 Jan 1864 at Partick, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.S4 He was 23, she was 17.
They lived at Margaret's residence after marriage, so that means they probably moved in with Margaret's mother. Matthew and Margaret were still living there (166 Castlebank) 4 years later when their eldest surviving child, son William was bornS1 and they were still there fifteen years later for the 1881 census.S8. Margaret lost her first two children, sons Robert and Samuel, before having eight surviving children, five boys and three girls.
Husband Matthew died in 1889 leaving Margaret a 42 year old widow with seven children at home. Youngest daughter Mary was just five. Matthew had introduced eldest son William to working in the shipyards. William was 21 when his father died and was likely working by then. William didn't marry until five years after his fathers death so it is possible he helped his mother support his brothers and sisters.
Margaret died of Myocarditis on 16 Dec 1929. She was living at 40 Greenknowe Street, Parish Cambusnethan, Overtown, Lanarkshire, Scotland when she died.
