The witnesses were,
John McGloughlin of 5 Parnell Place,
and
Catherine Brady, of 160 Great Brunswick Street.

Margaret was his second wife.

In the 1901 census, the Pearse family were living at Sandymount Avenue, Dublin.

In the 1911 census, Margaret Pearse was recorded twice.

Margaret was aged 54, a Matron of a College,
Mary Brigid was aged 26, her "Companion"
3 Teachers were also present, so it can be assumed that all of those resident there had a connection with St. Enda's School.

Margaret was also recorded by her son Patrick Pearse as living with him at St. Enda's, Haroldsgrange, Rathfarnham.
He filled in the form in the Irish language. For the understanding of a greater number of people, it has been translated into English.

Margaret Pearse (née Brady; 12 February 1857 – 22 April 1932) was an Irish politician. She was born in Dublin, her father's family were from County Meath. In 1877 she married James Pearse (his second marriage), a Dubliner who was originally from Birmingham. She was the mother of Patrick Pearse, one of the leaders of the Easter Rising in 1916, who was executed soon after the rising. Another son Willie Pearse was also executed after the 1916 Easter Rising.

She joined Sinn Féin after the Rising and gave support and endorsement to candidates during the 1918 Westminster election. She was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála (TD) for the Dublin County constituency at the 1921 elections.

She strongly opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty, as did all the female TDs. She stated during the Treaty debate that:

"I rise to support the motion of our President for the rejection of the Treaty. My reasons for doing so are various, but my first reason for doing so I would like to explain here today is my son's account. It has been said here on several occasions that Patrick Pearse would have accepted this Treaty. I deny it. As his mother I deny it, and on his account I will not accept it."

"Always we had to be on the alert. But even the Black and Tans alone would not frighten me as much as if I accepted this Treaty; because I feel in my heart - and I would not say it only I feel it - that the ghosts of my sons would haunt me."

Following the ratification of the Treaty she left the Dáil with the other anti-Treaty deputies. She was defeated at the 1922 general election. She supported those who opposed the Treaty during the Irish Civil War and continued to be a member of Sinn Féin until 1926. In 1926 she left the party conference with Éamonn de Valera and became a founder member of Fianna Fáil. She never stood for election again.

At the launch of The Irish Press newspaper she was asked to press the button to start the printers rolling. At many public occasions she stated that were her sons alive they too would have joined Fianna Fáil. Accordingly, Patrick Pearse is recognised as the spiritual figurehead of the party to this day.

Margaret Pearse died in 1932. Her daughter Margaret Mary Pearse also joined Fianna Fáil, and served as a TD in the 1930s and later as a Senator.
