Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Margaret Jane Craig was born in 1868 in New Zealand – the daughter of James Craig and Williamina McDonald. (See 302 Whilelmina Craig)

She married Charles McDonald, a stoker, on 24 May 1901 in the North Otago parish.

Charles died in 1930 in Hampden and Margaret died on 30 September 1942 in Oamaru.

They are buried together in the Hampden Cemetery.
