Margaret THEXTON was born in 1845 in Kendal, possibly at Kendal Parks Farm just south of Kendal. Her parents were Edward THEXTON and Jane MACHELL nee KENDAL. Her father died in 1849. In 1851 she is living with her grandmother Nancy KENDAL and her half sister Elizabeth MACHELL in Marthwaite, Sedbergh. It is possible that the family moved south to Liverpool shortly afterwards.
Margaret married Benjamin WREGG, a master Engine Fitter, in 1872 in West Derby. Her half-sister Elizabeth MACHELL had been married in West Derby in 1864.
Margaret and Benjamin had at least four children: George Kendal (who was named for Margaret's mother Jane KENDAL and died in 1875 aged 2 years), (Edward) Ernest, Frank and May E.
Margaret's husband Benjamin died in 1911 and she passed away on 6 Apr 1919. They were buried together in St Mary's Churchyard, Birkenhead, although apparently the headstone was later moved. Also buried with them are two sons and a grandson.
