  	Margaret's first husband was Michael Burns; he died in Ireland. Margaret immigrated to Canada abt 1851 with her sons, Martin and Patrick Burns. Some time between 1851-1861, she married her second husband, widower Cornelius Madden. Cornelius lived literally across the road from the Burns' farm (on Con. 12, the township line, now known as Golden Line Rd); this meant the Burns farm was technically in Ramsay Twp, and Cornelius' farm in Huntley Twp. Margaret was widowed again by 1861. Margaret died sometime between the (Jan) 1861 Census of Canada and March 1863 (when her sons were in a legal battle over ownership of the Burns farm - see Patrick or Martin's Memorial for more info). Although no official death or burial record has yet been found for Margaret, her burial was referenced twice in the personal journal of Sarah (Carter) Burns (wife of Margaret's grandson Peter Burns): once, immediately next to burial and tombstone information about Peter Burns, who was buried at Saint Mary's, she wrote "Grandma Burns grave plot 108 in cemetry [sic]", and again later, "Grandma Burns grave Lot 108". Both of Margaret's sons were also buried at Saint Mary's. [H. Presley, 3g-grandson]
