      Dennis Craigen was a resident of Cloyne at the time of Margaret's birth according to her Province of Ontario civil registration birth certificate from 1888. The birth was registered in Kaladar Township, with the father as informant. Certificate # 19772, Archives of Ontario microfilm series 929, film no. 88.

      Margaret Craigen died in childbirth with Mary Margaret Rathwell, who died of premature birth a day before Margaret's own death. She died at Lot 4 Pl S M 8 (Stratton). James E. Rathwell was the informant of both deaths (registered in Morley, Rainy River). He claims that Margaret was working in the post office as office help from 1906 to 1912 and had lived at Stratton for 16 years; he also claims that both Dennis Craigen and Mary Kennelly were natives of County Kerry.
