Fergie,
My name is Ken Hill, my Gt, Gt Gt Grand parents were Peter Ferguson and Ann McNaughtan. My Gt Gt Grand Mother was Margaret Ferguson, thier daughter b 1840, she married my Gt Gt Grandfather Robert Hill in 1861 and died in Roxburgh in 1917. Their son Peter, my Gt Grandfather emigrated to Canada with his family in 1903. In the old manner I am Peter's, Margaret's, Robert's, Peter's, Peter's, David's son Kenneth, and I am understanding your post's correctly we are 1st cousins 4 times removed. I have been stuck on the Ferguson side for several years now and have some leads the most interesting is the Fersuson's were on the homestead next to my Gt Grandfather in Saskatchewan. They were always refered to as cousins but I was never able to prove a definative link. I have my work on Rootsweb world connect at the following link:

The information back from Peter and Ann is speculation and I have been working for at least five years off and on to confirm it. Happy to meet you. The email contact at the link is correct. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you Pat.
That Moss Census is a brillient document. I spent ages last night looking through it and will now have to do some serious re-thinking about my ancestors location at that time.
My GGG grandfather, Peter Ferguson, was born in Kincardine in 1801 and I had assumed that they lived on the moss at that time. but neither him nor his parents, Donald and Marren, are on the Moss Census in 1814 although Peter was farming ( and clearing) at Robertson Lane in 1841.
So it's more head scratching and trying to figure out, if they were not on the Moss, where were they?
