According to the census, Margaret was born at sea, although it lists her date of birth as April 1893, and Immigration as 1892. Elisabeth (daughter) has a middle initial of M, although I wouldn't put much stock in that.
Immigration documents for that period typically do not contain much useful information, other than an exact date of entry.
