Biography: Margaret (also named as McGurk rather than McGough based on pronunciation) had a death sentence reprieved. She had uttered two base shillings to a J.Madden at Manchester. She was described as a very old offender (having already been convicted of the same crime) and was a married weaver, in good health. Margaret was given a free pardon from Lancaster Castle in 1824. Margaret died, aged 77 at 67 Commerce Street, Manchester (now Minshull Street South) in 1846.
