Margaret was the daughter of James Fleming and Mary Purcell and was baptised at Castlecomer in 1829, although from her death record, she was probably born in about 1823.

After Henry's death she married John Murray, and they had a daughter Isabel Murray, before John died. Isabella senior remarried to George Allen and had another daughter, Lillian.
Isabella's sister, Kate Gardiner also emigrated to Australia, married William Preston, before supposedly emigrating to America to maybe join her brother, Obadiah, who also had moved to America.
Youngest brother, Joseph Gardiner was the only child to stay home in Castlecomer, where he married Sarah Pielow and they lived at Chatsworth Avenue all their lives.
There were two other siblings, Henry and Eliza, but it is unsure what happened to them.
