Margaret's birth and her parents' marriage already posted.
From the middle name (Drever) of son George, I would have thought the other set of parents would be the right one - but clearly not!

Yes, from looking at the Orkney records in general, there are lots of Seaters, Harcuses, and Drevers, all intermarrying.

Death of grandson Andrew who was the informant on Margaret's death certificate. Also living with Margaret in the 1891 census.
