4 years after Christopher died Margaret married in 1969 a Ramsey Moody who was a US citizen with her adopted son Michael as a witness. There was some info which I have misplaced that they also brought Christopher’s daughter Viola up to Washington to live.

One sibling of Margaret, called Evelyn was aged 10 in 1921 census. In the 1940 US Census shows Margaret as a Gov. Office worker an a, Office manager single and living in a boarding house
