Jean Stephenson was born 20/9/1827 as stated on Greenwich Hospital School admission, father James  and mother Mills also giving siblings as Margaret, Elizabeth, Edward, Mary and William.
William was born in 1836 so Jean possibly not admitted 1836 onwards.
There is a possible death for Jane/Jean Stevenson (51) 1878 Penninghame mmn Mills on SP.

Thank you very much Simon Hawkins and Maddy52 for all info about Ferguson family.
I had found them heading to Wakeeney, Kansas in 1950's, I assumed wrongly they were on a visit to Margaret Fergusons brother (Andrew McCormick) who had lived in Wakeeney for a number of years, not knowing they remained there for a few years.
George Fergusons brother lived in Edinburgh, both the Ferguson brothers married McCormick sisters.
I don't have a subscription to Ancestry to check out the yearbooks photo but thank you again for all information it is much appreciated.

Thank you again Neale for Will and Probate links, I had found them earlier for Margaret and George Ferguson. Normally I use Scotlands People as I'm in Scotland and not sure about using and costs of  records for Victoria.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you both for replies, Wilson Ferguson was born 21/10/1941 according to Find a Grave site and would be in Queensland.
George Ferguson had been at Pioneer Estate from 1924 and still there at time of marriage 1938, I don't have the marriage cert.
In 1950 the family go to Kansas to visit Margaret Fergusons brother.
Thank you for the electoral rolls Neale, it fills in some of the gaps.
