Margaret Gray 
Margaret was born in 1868.Birth Notes
Date of Birth: Macosquin Presbyterian Church records birth NOT baptism record. I can NOT find any such birth in the Derry Family History Centre birth registers for 1869 or 1870. This is odd. It seems to suggest that the entry in Macosquin Presbyterian Church is either an error or it IS a baptism not a birth.
Civil Birth NOT shown on IFHF, the child of James Gray and Eliza Brown in 1869.
Death Notes
Barbara Braswell, using Family History Centre Death Index, says, "Found the death of Margaret Gray, also, in 1872, aged 4 years. 6:348." However, the Death certificate shows it is unlikely to be her as she died in the workhouse as the daughter of a servant.
General Notes
Source: Macosquin Presbyterian Church records. They may be wrong and she might not exist.
There IS a Margaret born 15 July 1868 in Cullyvennie to James Gray and Eliza Jane Brown. But there is NO entry for a Margaret Gray in 1869!
The Death entry for 1869 Margaret Gray definitely says 9 weeks NOT 9 months. Along with the wrong PAD and townland, this seems to suggest she is NOT my Margaret Gray, but there is no other death so, if there is another Margaret Gray born in 1869, there must be a death for the 1868 Margaret.
There is no other death entry for a Margaret Gray in either 1869 or 1870. This all casts doubt on there ever being a second Margaret and suggests that Margaret Two's birth in Macosquin Presbyterian Church records is in fact Margaret One's baptism! However, if this is true, I am missing a child for James and EJB if the 1911 census is to be believed.
