Notes for Margaret Carberry:

BIRTH: 1851 census shows a Margaret as 10 years old, i.e born 1840/1.
1881 census shows Margaret Carberry Rankin as 32, i.e. born 1848/9. But this does not agree with the 1851 census, which should list her with that age rather than '10'.
Death certificate shows her as 52 at death in 1904, i.e. born 1852/3. If this latter birth year is correct, then she is only 12 when she married in 1864 and about 13 when her first son is born.
I'm inclined to believe the 1851 is most probably correct.
