Biography

Born ABT 1821. Morebattle, Roxburghshire, Scotland.

according to the 1851 census, but her death cert implies 1819. ^[1]

Died 23 OCT 1883. Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland.

her dth cert reading: aged 64, at Barony St, Edinburgh of cardiac disease, bronchitis. Widow of Joseph Broomfield, bootmaker, dtr of Walter Fairbairn, farm grieve (!), dec. and Ann (sic) Robertson, dec. The informant was her son-in-law George Hunter. (I have disregarded the Ann given as her mother, substituting Agnes, because of the family knowledge that links dtr Agnes as cousin to Adam Davidson, whose mother was Agnes Fairbairn, Margaret's sister. In addition "farm grieve" is a somewhat grander occupation for her father than the "scavenger" that appears on one of Walter's certificates). ^[2][3]
