Rod, I looked up this family in the 1841 & 1851 census for Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire (the place of birth for their children) on freecen.org.uk I can't copy/paste it here because it will not retain its formatting. The census shows that Margaret Peacock (listed with her maiden name) was alive in 1841. She had her last child, Jean, in 1842. I would assume she died between then and 1848 as William was remarried to a Margaret Jean (maiden name unknown by me) who was born in Ireland. They had a son, Thomas abt 1848.
