Margaret Heakes married Reverend Henry Marsh in 1934. She was twenty-two and he was thirty-six. She was singing in the choir at St. Paul’s Church in Toronto when they met. Reverend and Mrs Marsh lived in the Yukon from 1962 to 1967. In 1962, she created a game, “Cars and Clergy” based on Snakes and Ladders, to help raise funds for a debt-ridden Yukon Diocese. In the Yukon she convinced a friend to make hats for the wives of Yukon clergy and they were able to choose their hat at Margaret’s Mad Hatter Tea Party.((Emily-Jane Hills Oxford, //Letters from Inside: The Notes and Nuggets of Margaret Marsh.// Baico Publishing Consultants Inc., 2006: iii, 3, v.))
