Margaret Hodgen

Margaret was born about 1859.

Birth Notes
- Aged 29 on Marriage cert of 1892, so born about 1863, but it looks like both lied about ttheir ages (so 5 years older)
  
  ~1859 is a bit of a guess, based on her possibly being the head of household on the 1901 census, born in Manchester and living in Bolton.

She died about 1925 in Little Bolton.¹

Death Notes
- Where was she in 1901 ?
  Possibly died by 1911 as children with uncle George, but that may be because of the death of Samuel in 1911.
  
  There are no good age matches for Little Bolton before 1911

  Also, cant find in 1901, and Sameul has his sister-in-law Betsy (Robert's wife) with him in place of Margaret.
