Hi Wendy,
Prior to 1864 records were kept in the form of church and parish records, while some of these have been regrettably lost, all the surviving records have been sorted into
county-based genealogical centers. This link also includes property and landed estates, so this could help with your research on Margaret. You can also search the church records
here.
Have you tried looking into the ship or migration records? There are some for
Canada.
Let me know if you have any other questions and I would be glad to help.
