Margaret was born about 1838 in Mayo, possibly Attymass. 

She had an elder sister Ellen (b.c1833), and in the mid 1850 they went to England and settled in the Bedern area of York. 

In 1859 she married Joseph Robson in St. George's Catholic Chapel. On the marriage certificate her (deceased) father's name is given as Patrick, a farmer.   

She and Joseph raised a family of five children in York.  They died within weeks of each other in 1900.  Ellen never married and died in York in 1906.

    Kildavnet Freeholders List

    <p>A unique Census Substitute for the townland of Carrickkildavnet aka Kildavnet in 1829. This Freeholders List can provide useful information about those who held enough land to register to vote. While the smaller tenant farmers who suffered most during the Great Famine won't appear on this list, there may be a few surprises included here (that didn't appear on Tithe applotment records). These could be partners on a freehold lease. Can you find your ancestor's name below?</p>
