I found George Penn pension file what a wealth of info, and you are correct George and Margaret were the parents of Wilson and Matilda.... Most perplexing how Matilda death certificate list her mother as Hazel. From what I have read so far looks like Margaret died very shortly after her husband, maybe in the same yr and Matilda would have been6 yrs old or close to it Old enough to remember her mothers name especiallly with 5 older siblings to tell her about her parents,
