Notes for Margaret Rowe
In the 1851 census she was said to be 9m, nine months, old. This puts her birth around July 1850. But see a note to her marriage register details.
___________________
There are two marriages of Margaret (only) Rowe for a birth year of 1850, both in Wolstanton and of these one was in 1868 and the other in 1911. The former is worth considering.
In fact a church marriage was found that clearly has Margaret in it with her father, George, a potter.
____________________________
There is one child born to a Steele-Rowe marriage in 1882 in Aston, Warwicks. This needs some confirmation take further. Try the 1881 and 1891 censuses.
In 1881 they were on their own in6, Daniel Street, Burslem, Wolstanton, Staffordshire:

His Hers

Condition: Bachelor Spinster
Profession: Potter -
Residence: Middleport Middleport
Father’s name: George Steele George Rowe
Father’s job: Carter Potter
“Married in the church at Cobridge according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Established Church, after Banns,
“ by me: William D Lamb
“This Marriage was solemnized between us, Richard Steele his X mark, Margaret Rowe her X mark.
“in the Presence of us, James Mullewny his X mark, Jane Rowe her X mark.
_____________________________
That her age is given above as 20, that means she must have been born after July 31st in 1850. It sounds like August so that she was 9 months old at the time of the 1851 census. So I have altered the month of her birth from July to August.
