*********************************************************
This would fit the Margaret who married James Coulthard in 1829. In 1841, Margaret stated that she was born in Lancashire, unlike her husband and son who were both "N"--not born in Lancashire. But in 1851 her birthplace is stated as being the same as that of her husband and son ie Cockermouth.
Is it possible that Jane Robinson thought that she was married to John Guy when Margaret was born in 1807, but subsequently discovered that he was already married to someone else ? Or maybe there was some other reason for calling herself Jane Robinson in 1841 and 1851. Or maybe this is just a coincidence and this isn't the Margaret Guy who married James Coulthard in 1829.
