Searching for Andrew (Anthony) Ferrie. Born abt 1871 Donegal
« on: Saturday 26 March 22 21:43 GMT (UK) »
Parents. Godfrey Ferry & Mary O’Donnell
9 children Patrick, Mary, Andrew, Michael, Francis, Godfrey, Hugh, Bridget & Alice. I have been able to find birth & death for all children except Andrew. 
Anthony married Mary McBride in Scotland & I have the marriage certificate

The family immigrated to Canada in 1913 from Dunbarton Scotland. One of the children Catherine McBride Ferrie ? was my grandmother.

Any information about Andrew would be welcomed. Thanks
Leslie

Have you tried searching the Parish registers for the 'missing' children?

Hugh Ferry also immigrated to USA. Hugh was living with Andrew & Mary in one of the census.

I have not looked at the missing children. Not sure what it is.

The 1911 census says there were 10 children. You've listed only 9 but not found Anthony/Andrew's birth registration. I only found 6 children in civil registers. It might be that baptismal records will give a more complete list of the family.

It's the church records you need to check once you've searched the civil registrations thoroughly.
