ℹ Who is whoAgnes M. W. is Agnes Wood Gavigan (Hugh junior's wife). Hugh is Hugh junior (the soldier), and Hugh J. is Hugh Joseph, his son. Peter is their son Peter, born 1916. Of the two Margarets, one is probably Hugh Joseph's wife Margaret Sarah and Margaret B. is probably Margaret Brock Gavigan. Margaret Gavigan, born 1913, Hugh senior's daughter, is another possible match.
ℹ Hugh junior was aliveIf this is the 1949 to 1950 register, Hugh Gavigan junior, the soldier, was still alive at about 74. His death has not been found yet.
⚠ Margaret B.Voters had to be 21. A Margaret Brock Gavigan born in 1932 would not be on a register in 1950, while one born on 18 August 1928, as the Galloway tree has her, would be. The birth index entry (Calton 1932) and the death index entry in 1983 (age 51) both point to 1932, so the roll is unexplained. Margaret B. may be a different person, or the date of the roll may be later than 1950.
