helen smith would have been 63 at the time of margarets birth in that option though... and all those births seem a little early i think if the age on her marriage certificate and census is to be believed

I'm really struggling to find any information on a margaret brown.

I have the original marriage certificate in 1883. She married George Wood on the 16th of february at 4 East Adam Street, Edinburgh. At the time she was living at 9 Ingliston Street, edinburgh, and was 20 years old. Her parents are James Brown (Boot maker) and Helen Smith.

The earliest record of her I can find is the 1881 census living at 67B Hanover Street, Edinburgh, working as a domestic servant aged 17 and living with the family she works for. It lists her place of birth as Dundee, Forfar.

However I cannot find her in the 1871 census, I cannot find her birth certificate, or her parents marriage certificate, or her parents in any census is anyone able to help me in any way?

thanks
