  General Notes:

Margaret was a cotton handloom weaver according to the 1841 census for New Monkland. She had been born in Ireland and was 15 years old.

Margaret, aged 26 years, was recorded by the 1851 census living at an abode between 70 and 80 Clerk Street Airdrie. No birthplace was given. Instead, 'British subject' was entered. She was living with her husband, Charles McInnes, her husband, who was born in Invernesshire. He was a miner.

APPLICATION FOR PARISH RELIEF
(At very top and in red, added later and above all of the script, reads: admitted by Barony 31/784 4/5/83)

On February 4 1867, at 5.05 pm, Margaret Tweedley McInnes applied for parish relief.

Or rather, initially her landlady, Mrs Gunn, of 32 Steel Street, Glasgow, applied on her behalf under the name of Jane Moore, ("per Mrs Gunn 32 Steel St"), whose age was given as 27 years. The applicant (ie Margaret) was wholly disabled on account of the fever.

Later, presumably when she had recovered to some extent, the applicant was able to give her real name and details. Jane Moore, 27 years, was crossed out and Margaret Tweedley McInnes written in in purple ink.

Margaret gave her age as 33 years. She had been born in Airdrie, Lanarkshire. Her residence was 32 Steel Street, front, low door off street, with Mrs Gunn. She was a Protestant, and by occupation a washer. She had no dependants. She claimed desertion by her husband.

Her husband, Charles McInnes, was a shoemaker. He had been born in Portree in the Isle of Skye. He was last seen by the pauper (Margaret) two years earlier in Old Cumnock, Ayrshire. A note added in tinier writing above this sentence added "an oversman ironstone miner". He was the son of Donald McInnes, a crofter, and of Mary McLeod, both in Skye.

Margaret was the daughter of James Tweedley whom she had last seen four years before in Airdrie, and of Isabella McLean, dead 21 years. A note dated 16/4/83 was added at this point, which said "step mother Jane Porter died in Airdrie 7 years ago". Another note in red of the same date added "her husband died 12 March 1865".

This was Margaret's first application for relief.
Settlement: Dalry crossed out, then, Barony

The Remarks section reads as follows: " married by the Rev Sim Independent clergyman Airdrie 16 years ago 5 Aug 1848 in Broomknowe Church This woman says Jane Moore is not her name, that her landlord just picked on the first name that occurred to him to get quit of her speedily" This is signed Alex Campbell.
