Margaret Mains

Some documents say "Maines", but her ration book from 1942, signed by her, says Mains.  Blue Eyes. 5'2" tall

Scotland birth records:
Margaret Mains, Female
Birth Date: 31 Jan 1873
Birth Place: Dundee,Angus,Scotland
Father: Robert Mains
Mother: Margaret Harris
FHL Film Number: 6035516
However, I think this is in error on the mother's name. They repeated the child's name instead of Ann Harris, the first wife of Robert.  I do not believe Robert would have remarried and had a daughter named after his first wife.
