I don't think so as he would only be 14 when married as I stated before.

or 17 if

 Marriage of JAMES FERGUSON in 1864
Group Registration ID   N/R
SR District/Reg Area   Magherafelt 

is him.

So explain "Annie Ferguson" becoming Hannah Ferguson on all the children's birth's.

Quite easily..... look at birth of  William Bell Ferguson born 1870!  They had a son William Bell Ferguson born 1870, the poster's grandfather!

Ok I agree it could be and if so it's back to square 1 and check the birth's of their children.

The Londonderry Sentinel 12 Apr 1861

April 9, in the Presbyterian Church, First Glendermott, by the Rev. A. Buchanan, Mr. James Ferguson, son of Mr. Samuel Ferguson, of Ramoath, to Hannah, daughter of Mr. Daniel Ferguson, of Slaght..

Ramoath I don't recognise, Slaght could be Slaghtmanus, in Cumber Lower.

Hi

I have a James(1966), Mary Ann (1964), Robert John (1867), David Ferguson (1872), William Bell (1870) as children of James and Hannah.

Are you saying that Andrew (1869), Anne Jane (1871) William Bell (1870 are children of James and Hannah, I am confused

[hallmark]

So...is this William Bell Ferguson, son of James and ANNA your grandfather??

[hallmark]

Is that the correct household in 1901 or not??

My goodness what a mess here- AND on the wrong board as well.

Forget the earlier census record and 1906 death-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/Waterside/Spencer_Road/1540697
Alfred Ferguson son of James Ferguson & Elizabeth Cochrane-

This is the James Ferguson who died 12 Jan.1906 (14 Spencer Rd.)

Now, so far William Bell Ferguson (born at Gorticross) had at least 4 siblings also born at Gortacross- Mary Ann (1866) James (1866), Robert John (1867), David (1872)
However, if WBF (William Bell Ferguson) was born 3 May 1870 then the Andrew** posted was born only 8 months earlier.
Also, the Annie* posted born 28 Oct.1871 was born less than 6 months before David.

Off to, 1 do some searching and 2 ask for this thread to be moved to Derry/Londonderry board where it belongs.
