Research Notes
The death certificate gives a birth date of 1 Jun 1883, however this appears to just be a mistake. In the 1910 census she was age 32 which does line up with her Ireland birth record. There are no other birth records to these parents after 1877 besides Margaret.

In Familysearch and ancestry.com there are plenty of BMD records for their children, it should be straightforward to add children to this profile.

She may be the Sarah Glasgow appearing on the 1900 census as a Servant at Hahnemann Hospital, Philadelphia, alongside Annie Bell (1874-).
