Margaret Gray was the only known child of George Gray and his wife Hellenor Craigie, and was christened in Westray on 1st October 1854. Her father died when she was six years old, her mother remarried, and the family left Westray. A deed in the possession of a descendant shows that by 1876 they were living in Port Colbourne (Humberstone Township), Ontario, Canada. (Members of the family occupied that property until the 1940s.)
