Margaret (born 1803) was the daughter of Alexander Stewart and Margaret Maciver; it is not certain where the family were living at the time of her birth, but it may have been Nether Coll Tack.

In 1807 Nether Coll became known as Old Coll and the family obtained 22 Old Coll.

Margaret married Roderick Murray, but it is not known where the couple settled during their early marriage, or where their first child was born. 

In 1830, during the croft lottings, the family obtained 11 Old North Tolsta. The couple had a further nine children there.

In 1851 her parents obtained 53 Coll and she emigrated, with her husband and children, to the Eastern Townships of Quebec. They settled in Whitton.
