No, it wouldnt mean she was married before as there would be two surnames not just the one. What a conundrum. Ive tried looking for a Margaret to no avail. If she was born 1867or 69 then you may want to spend a bit of dosh on familyrelatives.org - it is name searchable for 1866-1920 and even by area and date. ONLY put one first name in though otherwise it brings up zilch results. Cant find them 1891 either. What is dads job? He is moving about a bit - he isnt a soldier or a railway worker is he? Tried Wales because of the name - no sign.
