And I now have the Margaret Pears death cert, but on the face of it, she is from a different family:
Superintendent Registrar's District: Ulverston
1874 Deaths in the District of Dalton in the County of Lancaster
When Died: Twenty second March 1874 Ireleth Marsh
Name and Surname: Margaret Pears
Sex: Female
Age: 5 years and 9 months
Rank or Profession: Daughter of Thomas Pears Labourer
Cause of Death: Died from Convulsions
Signature, Description, and Residence of Informant: Information received from John Poole Coroner for the Liberty of Furness Inquest held 23rd March 1874.
But I can't see a likely birth registration for this Margaret Pears, so need to make sure she can definitely be ruled out as Margaret Sloper!
