If you think Margaret was on the ship with him, here's a list of every Margaret from Ireland on the ship (and of course I'm assuming she wasn't from England).

As for Susan, if she came through NY, then her record hasn't been transcribed yet. These are the only Susan Chambers during that period (any country):
First name Last name Occupation Age Sex Arrived Origin Ship
Susan Chambers Child, Youngster 7 F 19 Mar 1880 England Wyoming
Susan Chambers Unknown 18 F 12 Jul 1851 Ireland Huron
Susan Chambers Spinster 20 F 11 Jul 1860 Ireland Glasgow
Susan Chambers Servant, Gentleman's Servant 18 F 25 Nov 1870 Scotland Britannia
Of course, she could have come through another port, like Baltimore or Philadelphia. To narrow it down you'd need to figure out where William was living and what would make the most sense logistically on where to have mom sail to...then pull those films (they're not in any DB I'm aware of at this time).
Hope this helps.
