In my family there is an Oliver who was the illegitimate son of my 2x great grandmother. His father is unknown (except he sometimes used a surname as a middle name.......he wasn't baptised with that). |

That's been the problem Selena. There is no birth reference for Margaret. |

Just thinking aloud, as I can't quite get my head around this. |

I'm pretty convinced by Sue's reasoning (except for the 55m from Chorlton to Birkenhead more like 55 km since it's 35m Liverpool - Manchester). Since Margt's dad was William, I'd guess George Todd was the father of George W.H. Todd. There is a George Todd d 31/7/1917 at CWGC, from Liverpool (Paddington), but he was only 19 when he died, cf Margt's 23. He won a MM, and a war death would have been so much more acceptable than a walk-out, I'm sure if he'd been the dad, there would have been a family legend. |

I checked that Harry and he was registered as Harry not Henry. However in the absence of any Margarets of the right age I still think that is her family. |

This looks like the marriage of William Hocknell. Can't click on the page to see who wife Annie was. |

Thinking about this Margaret overnight I am now pretty convinced that she is that Daisy. |

Multimap reckons that Chorlton to Birkenhead is about 55 miles so that is certainly not beyond a possibility. |
