Remember that people weren't always sure of their own ages let alone that of their parents.

Possible death for Mary Ann Ferguson age 4 Eglinton district 25 Oct.1868

IF there was a son Samuel (born before registration & named after father's father)-
Samuel Ferguson age 11 died Eglinton district 2 May 1873

These two are only possibilities and certificates (not yet online) would need to be checked to see if they are children of James & Hannah Ferguson.
