Ferguson Greenock

[grianaig]

Looking for info on my Girlfriends family. I have traced back to her G Grandmother Jane Ferguson.

Only real info on her is that she married James Drummond in Greenock on the 29th Dec 1896, and have her parents as John Ferguson & Mary Miller.

Would love to know if Jane had any siblings and where she came from, was she born in Greenock? and did her father John die on the 7/1/1883.

Any help would be appreciated.

How old was she when she married in 1896? 

[grianaig]

I not quite sure, as I don't have a debit card for Scotlandspeople can't buy credits to see the image.

All I know for sure is that her father John died before she married in 1896.

Have tried to look through inverclyde BMD but it does not give a lot of info on either Fergusons or Drummond.

There are a number of 1901 entries that could fit but without knowing their respective ages it's difficult to pick the right entry

Do you know if they had any children before 1901?

[CaroleW]

I found this 1881 entry for 49 Nicholson St Greenock but no guarantees it's the right one  - children both b Greenock

John Ferguson 30 painter b Ireland
Mary   28 b Ireland
Elizabeth   4
Jane 9 Months
Greenock West ED 16 Page  29 Line 4

From the SP website FAQ's

Can I pay without a credit/debit card?
Yes. In addition to credit or debit cards, this site offers the use of vouchers which can be purchased by cheque. Please see help for more information.

Jane' marriage to James Drummond is on the Inverclyde BMD site
and it say's she is the daughter of John Ferguson with a note (see John)
which usually means that there is info about him on there too,
there are quite a few John Ferguson deaths on there if you know his occupation
it may be easier to identify which one he is

1891 census has john listed as a house  painter

also a marriage for his other daughter Esther

[CaroleW]

So - the John Ferguson I found on the 1881 census is the same as the one found on the 1891 census - that means he couldn't have died in 1883.  If the info re: his death is correct - it's not the right family

and did her father John die on the 7/1/1883.

You really need to sort some credits out and check the 1896 marriage to establish John's occupation
