Margaret (Maggie) Lynn, born 17 Apr 1873, died abt 1933 in Antrim Northern
Ireland, was the daughter of James Linn and his second wife, Eliza Blair. General Notes: (Per a letter from Betty Boyd 12 Feb, 2004) When William Lynn's first wife, Elizabeth Morrison, died in Toronto in 1904, his sister Margaret went to Canada and returned to Ireland with their two young children, Agnes and Bill. Although she was not married, she raised them in Dunloy, where she lived with her parents and did odd jobs for the Shaw family. She was mother to Agnes and Bill, and was known in the family as Aunt Maggie. She died of a heart attack when she was about 60 (i.e. 1933). Per Lynn Chorich Notes Another story is that Nancy Jane went to get them and she was very sick on the boat because she was pregnant with Wilson. From the 1901 census of Ireland, Eliza Lynn (60, head of family, cannot read) lived at 130 Marvue Street, Duncairn Ward, Antrim, together with daughters Maggie (26, spreader flax, read & write), Nancy (22, spreader flax, read & write), and Lizzie (16, spreader flax, read & write), and sons John (19, PW labourer, read & write) and Hugh (14, screwer flax, read & write). All were listed as speaking Irish and Presbyterian. At the time of the 1901 census Maggie's father, James, was living with his son William and family in Scotland. In the 1911 census, James Lynn (73, farm labourer, can read) lived at 39 Caldanagh, Dunloy, Antrim, with his wife Lizzie (70, 41 years married, cannot read), daughter Maggie (37, domestic servant, read & write), son Alexander (35, farm labourer, read & write), granddaughter Agnes (11, scholar, read & write) and grandson William (8, scholar, read & write). All are listed as Presbyterian. Granddaughter Agnes and grandson William were the children of William Lynn and his first wife Elizabeth Morrison, who died in Toronto in 1904.
