The age for the married couple is 8 years too young - a bit surprising for this side of the family. The only marriage of a Shields and a Margaret in a 12 year period, and it matches exactly the time necessary for her daughter to be born. It would be nice to get extra confirmation, but not sure how that could be done - her husband was not listed in 4 censuses beginning in 1860.
