Hello Danielle,

One of your Margaret's younger sisters, Nancy Ann Sefton (c1831-1905)
married a relative of mine, Benjamin Box in 1848, lived in Deans Marsh area
and had 10 children. After Benjamin's death, Nancy Ann marr. James Parish
in 1897. If you don't have this family I can give you details of the Box
children - haven't followed them past first generation.
