Notes

Margaret is described as "semi aborigine" on her marriage certificate with David Lord , and this would explain the scarcity of any records of her birth and mothers name ,as scant records were kept of the indigenous population, by the authorities of the time .

On her death certificate,Margaret's father's surname is recorded as Clives (no Christian name) and his trade was Butcher.(No details of Margaret's mother were recorded ,simply "unknown", but she was very likely a member of the Dharug People of Western Sydney, who lived in the area).

There is a baptism record in the NSW BDM(V18491718 34A/1849) ,for a Margaret Cleeve ,daughter of J K Cleeve .It states that Margaret was baptised on 11 Mar 1849, so it is obviously her baptism date, not her birth date. (Aboriginal births were first recorded as baptisms by churches and then, after 1856, as Civil Registration Birth Certificates, when the registration of births became law.)
(Research):Margarets maiden name was variously spelt Cleeve,Clive,Cleeves,Cleaves,Cleves.
