Margaret Quine/Burns Mystery

Hi, earlier this year I received a copy of a will (1952) belonging to my husbands grandfather.

He was born Thomas Bertram Burns 1890 Ramsey Isle of Man to Thomas Burns and Margaret Kelly/Kewley.

One of the beneficaries was noted as 'my married daughter Margaret Quine of Dreem -ny - Geay, Grove Mount, Ramsey'.

I don't have much information such as birth/death dates, mother, husband, children for the family tree.

Thomas bn 1890 married Kate Violet Martin a widow (nee Morris) in St Bride's Church Liverpool 1910 and she had a son William who lived with them, I did wonder if Margaret was Kate's daughter but keep hitting brick walls.

Thomas and Kate went on to have two children of their own Thomas Bertram Burns bn 1914 and Lilian.

Family knowledge is that she was brought up by Margaret and Thomas Burns on the island and was still alive in mid to late 80's in a nursing home.

Thanks for any help
