Biographical Notes	Note: After her husband's death in India in 1869, Margaret brought her mother Lucy Carey and four children back to England. They were there by the 1871 census.

A few of the birthplaces of some of the boys included Canton, China; Kandy, Ceylon; Peeltown, Cape Colony; Nova Scotia, Canada; Jerusalem; and Jamaica. It must have been a stimulating environment.
