HELP WITH 'FERGUSON' N.S.W
« on: Thursday 13 July 06 10:38 BST (UK) »
 Can anyone please tell me how to find ancestors of WILFRED CLYDE FERGUSON?
He was born in Newcastle N.S.W 25th July 1920.

N.S.W BDM only allow family history birth certificates lookups  up to 1905, so if I can't find his parents from Birth Certificate where do I go from here?

Any help will be much appreciated,
Cheers
ozigirl.

Hi ozigirl  :)

Did he ever marry, or has he passed away?  You could get his parents' names off either of those two certificates.

Thanks Jenn and Prue,
Yes he did marry - Anne O'Shea 22nd Sept. 1952. No parents names were on the marriage certificate.
He died in 2001 in Newcastle.
Cheers Jen.

Hi,

No, I don't have his B Certificate because they do stop at 1905 and thought that was the only way to find his parents.

Cheers,
Jen   :)

Hello there

did you obtain a copy of his marriage certificate or are u just going off the information on the online indexs?


now you can buy a copy of the marriage certificate from the online bdm indexs  takes about two weeks for it to come in the mail

Hi Jenn,
I'm researching this for a friend, but I have seen the marriage certificate (NSW) and the parents of Wilfred and Anne are not listed on the certificate. I was surprised that they weren't. Every marriage cert. they I have seen from other states have the parents on them.
Regards Jen.
