    Her birth year and age are clearly incorrect. Whether they are out by exactly 10 years (as suggested by the 1900 census) or less (as suggested by earlier censuses), is not known. However, if it is true that Samuel and Sarah were born and died in the early 1840s (as suggested by the gap in ages in the 1850 census), then it seems likely that Margaret was born Oct 1843. Her death place also appears to be incorrect.
