Hello,
Can someone help me please? I am trying to find out if there are any baptism records for my 2nd Great Grandmother Frances Jane Ferguson b. 1857 Armagh d. 1926 Heworth Co, Durham.
Frances Jane was the Daughter of Hugh Ferguson (b. 1827, Ireland d. 1882, Heworth) and Ellen (b. 1821, Ireland d. 1898, Newcastle). There are also five Siblings:
John (B.1843, Armagh d. 1913, Durham)
Mary Ann (b. 1846, Ireland)
Margaret (b. 1848, Ireland d. 1889, Durham)
James (b. 1850, Ireland d. 1907, Stanley, Co. Durham)
Robert (b. 1859, Ireland?)
Out of all the above, only Frances Jane and John have indicated they were from Armagh in their later censuss. Hugh Ferguson appears on the 1851 England Census but not the rest of the family, they do not appear until the 1861 living in Jarrow.
I have tried to look at Irish Records but without any luck. I would like to know when Hugh and Ellen got married and also her Maiden name and also if their children were baptised. Hugh on mist of the records I have was a Chemical Labourer.
Frances Jane married a Neil Blue in 1875. Neil Blue (b. 1855, Gateshead d. 1937, Heworth) was the son of a Neil Blue (b. 1828, Ireland d. 1886, Flintshire). I would love to know if anyone could find any information about Neil Blue Senior. I only know form his marriage that his Father was called George Blue. Neil does not appear in the 1841 Census (not that I can find) but married his wife Margaret Ann Miller in 1847 in South Shields.
If anyone can help that would much appreciated. If you would like to see my family tree it is on Ancestry named Crawford/Blake Family.
Thank you
Liam Crawford
