1784 or 1782 Margaret Pearson birth 

see also Jane Pearson &  John LANKSHEAR

Anthony had her as Jane Margaret and I did search for that at first - then 1841 and 1851 she was Margaret. First I thought that was a second wife per 1830 marriage of a John to Margaret Smith but now clear that was the couple who went to Tasmania. So my Margaret is the one in the census and indeed is from Scotland. I am now 3/32 Scottish - no wonder I like the Pipes. 

see 1841 Census John Lankshear and Margaret with Jane Mary - Margaret reported age as 58 so born 1782 -1783

1841 June 6th  age 58 so born June 1782 to 6 June 1783
1851 March 30th age 69 so born March 1781 to 30 March 1782

So likely born first half 1782

2001 or so when I thought she was Jane Margaret I asked on GenForum message board and SKS supplied as follows 
have Jane Pearson christened (not born) March 1784 St.Mary St. Marylebone road St. Marylebone London father Anthony Pearson mother Jane
(not ours) I have John Lancashire christened July 1785 same church as above father Richard mother Sarah

Looking at IGI for Baptisms in Scotland c1782 - nothing conclusive
