Found Margaret in 1881 for you living in Wardwew, Northumberland. She is listed as Margaret Spottiswoodie.

Apologies, for not changing the entry enough to make sure copyright doesn't come into question :-\. If you want/need the info , she was living at Bridge End in Wardew. There's no number or house name, and she's living as a domestic servant for an Edward Turnball and his widowed mother Eliza. If you have access to census sites that should give you enough to look the entry up.
