Malcolm and Margaret Ferguson - marriage

[rodelremsi]

On behalf of relatives in Ireland and the USA I'm trying to trace any information on this family; my research of my own family has not led me to Scotland yet.  Malcolm Ferguson and Margaret Horsburgh were both born about 1850. I have no knowledge of their wedding but they had a son Malcolm, born 13 Dec 1879 in Glasgow.  It seems they later moved to the Dublin area as Malcolm and Margaret are buried there.  Any help much appreciated.

Hi, I had spare credits for Scotland's People website, and checked for the birth of Malcolm Ferguson, born 1878 - 1880 in the whole of Scotland. There were 8 entries, 7 male, 1 female. I checked all 7 of the male entries, and none of them have parents as Malcolm Ferguson or Margaret Horsburgh, and non were born on 13 Dec 1879. The only one which has any similarities to what you are searching for would be Malcolm Robertson Hornsby (this is scored out) Ferguson, he was born 11 Feb 1879, Girthon, Kirkcudbrightshire, to parents John Ferguson, drafter, and Emily HORNSBY. they were married on 12 April 1870 in Girthon, Kirkcudbrightshire.

What is your source stating the birth of Malcolm in 1879, Glasgow?
 regards,
Gill

Hi Gill, thank you very much for that.  My source comes from my North American relation.  His wife is a Ferguson and has some information on her ancestors but only back so far.  I think that his request to me was based on the assumption that all UK records are kept together! 

On a recent visit to Ireland they checked the gravestones of the two Malcolms and Margaret.  I will have to check the actual source of my relative's information.

Thanks again
