Margaret Hindmarch is a maternal 'grandmother'. Sister of John, by 19th June 1843 she was in Eccles, Lancashire. (Her wedding day). She then moved locally to Rainhill and remained there until her death. Any information about her home and family would be appreciated. Is there a link with Stephenson? Rgds Hil.
