Name Margaret EVANS Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Residence From 1891 to 1901 3, Woollacot Street, Oldham, Lancashire, England 
Born 11 Feb 1891 Oldham, Lancashire, England - Date 11 Feb 1892 according to the 1939 register, but there is a death registration for a Margaret Lord born 11 Feb 1890 that I think must be the death of this Margaret. Either or both dates may be wrong; that which seems most likely to me is the date in the death registration index is correct.
However, the best birth registration to fit is between the 2 - qtr 1 1891:
GRO ref: Evans, Margaret q1 1891 Oldham RD 8d 629; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Jones.
This also agrees with the age she recorded for herself in the 1921 census - 30 years and 4 months.
Missing from the 1891 census (where I think the enumerator has made a mistake; the ages given of all her siblings are those of the one on the next line), shown as aged 10 in the 1901 census.
Gender Female Died Jun Q 1975 Rochdale Reg Dist, Lancashire, England - GRO ref: LORD, Margaret q2 1975 dob 11FE1890 Rochdale RD 39 394
There is a probate calendar entry for a Margaret Lord who died 24 March 1975. It seemed this could be this Margaret (though not registering the death for at least 8 days, to be in q2, would be unusually slow) but the address given indicates it was a different Margaret Lord. The 1939 register has one with an Edgar B Lord, presumably her husband. The dob in the 1939 register matches that in a death registration in q1 1975, while the address for an Edgar B Lord who died in 1957 is given in a probate calendar entry as 3 Broadhalgh Road, the same as that in the probate calendar entry for a Margaret Lord in 1975. Hence I think we can rule out the will referred to being this Margaret without needing to buy it to check.

Sep Q 1949, Oldham Reg Dist, Lancashire, England (Age 55 years) Married Dec Q 1918 Oldham Register Office or Registrar Attended, Rochdale Reg Dist, Lancashire, England - Matching the birthdate from the baptism entry for Arthur with that in the 1939 register confirms that Arthur Gotham GREGORY married a Margaret, and this is clearly the registration index entry:
