Notes:

English abbreviation for Margaret. Occurs significantly often in the 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire.

Note:  From personal observation, we believe that the abbreviation Marg (for Margaret) has, on rare occasions, been transcribed as Mary in some on-line sources, so care may be needed when searching on-line services.
