In the 1891 census for Cleland, parish of Shotts, Margaret McConnaghy, a widow, and her six unmarried children, of whom Edward was the eldest, were recorded living with her widowed younger brother John Creaney and his four children. Margaret worked as 'housekeeper', and her age was recorded as 47 years. Her birthplace was Ireland. Her 1891 address was 162 Omoa Square, Cleland.
