That's a great help! Which website or tool do you use for your genealogy?
You couldn't scan the photo of HF in uniform? I'd love to see it. Due to my parents moving around, I have so few photos of anyone in my family.
Is the police museum a good place to get information? I don't live in Britain any more, so it's a bit far to visit. Do you know if they are helpful in providing information?

Hi Graham,
I've only just started on the Henry Ferguson side, so was pleasantly surprised to see people had done some research on the family.
Are you descended via his first or second wife? I can't find Janet in the 1851 census. I know that Jemima was dead before HF's marriage to Christina Lawson/Lowson in 1869.
I am very curious about Henry being a police officer. Are there archives with information? Most of my Dundee/Perth ancestors were weavers, so it's nice to find another profession.
If you have anything you can share, you can email me at (*)
 (the F in the initials being the last remnant of the Ferguson name)

10 years later and I see this chat. Do you have any more information regards the Ferguson family. I'm descended from Henry and Jemina through their son Henry.

Hi Evelina,
I'm descended through Andrew (1848-1898) and Andrew (1871–1952) and George (1907–1977) and Adrian (1930-).
If you have any information, please send me an email to (*)

I've found quite a bit but anything would be interesting.
Neil

Many thanks for the tip. It says that it was due to smoke. A sad death for the couple.

They died at home, so I presume it must have been coal or gas.
There is something in the margin, but I can't decipher it. Do you know what it means?

My great-great grandparents died on the same day in 1898 in Perth, Scotland, from suffocation. What does this mean? Would it be a gas-related death, or a suicide?

This is such an old post, but let's see if it is still active.
I'm a Porter descended from John Porter and Margaret Young through their son Andrew Porter.
I'd be interested in know where to find any documents concerning their lives (and of their parents).
My email is (*)
