Hi Jocelyn,
I guess we must be some kind of second cousins as a John and Ann were my Great Grandparents too. My Great Grandfather was John Ferguson and like his brothers Francis and George he moved to England. Francis and George ending up with factories of their own and alas John didn't. I guess a lot of the info you need is in this thread but I can take you back a little - I am still new to this so have not got too far.
Ann Isabella's parents were Neil 1788-1875 and Elizabeth Ross 1798 - 1885. Neil's father was William and his mother was Ann Leslie but I have not further details except his father was also a mason.
Elizabeth's parents were Hugh Ross and Ann Gunn again no details.
I have just had my first visit to the Scottish Highlands and I have found Neil and Ann's house (which is for sale incidentally) on Main Street Golspie - it has been subdivided into two houses way back in the 1860's and the main body of the house is now called Clach Ruadh which is Gaelic for Red Stone and the smaller subdivision is called anvil house. There is a small blacksmiths shop behind the houses.
If you would like details of any of Ann Ferguson's siblings (she was the youngest) contact me with what you need and I may have some info. I should be interested in hearing more detail about your antecedants as I am trying to build up a family picture. The Fergusons are a well travelled lot as all of my grandparents family moved to Toronto at the start of the 50's except for my father.
If anyone has details of any of the people listed above as no info I should be delighted to hear it.
I have photographs of the house if you want a copy I will need your email details.
Bernard

Jocelyn,
Missed a Great out of the first line of previous post. John and Ann were my great great grandparents. My great grandfather was their son also called John who was born in 1860 and was married to Mary Bond who was born in 1866 and had eight children including my grandfather Norman who was born in 1895. Hope that is a bit clearer.

Hi everyone,
my name is James Ferguson and I live in Manchester, England.
I am sure we must be from the same family.
I was always told a story growing up that an ancester of mine was a gamekeeper for a Scottish laird and he had saved the Laird's son when he fell from his boat during a storm.
I may have this wrong, but I think the gamekeeper, or maybe a son of his, was given a ticket to England as a reward where they worked for the Egerton family at Heaton Hall in Manchester. Coincidentally I now live just a mile from the hall, which now lies within Manchester's biggest public park - Heaton Park.
There must be some link here with the name Egerton, which has also been mentioned here. I have the middle name Egerton, as does my father and my grandfather's brother (who died in the WW2). I believe the first born son of every generation has the name.
My grandfather, now 92, worked in the family business, which was a factory that waterproofed material in Failsworth, Manchester. The factory is still there and has a sign saying AOF, which I believe stands for Alfred Oswald Ferguson, though it is in an area marked for redevelopment and may not be around much longer.
I do not have precise knowledge of the family history and my memory of what I have been told is a bit hazy, but I hope that this is of interest to you.
All the best,
John James Egerton Ferguson

Hi James
Your Grandfather is my mothers 1st cousin he must have been the youngest grandchild of John and Ann Ferguson ,my mother was named after Ann Ferguson nee Mcleod she was the eldest child of Ann Isabella Ferguson. We were told that my mother had 2 uncles in Manchester but never found out where the lived . so it has been a great thrill to be able to catch up with some of our decsendants. I have attach a photo of the ann ferguson's family I hope you can open it, this is the first time that I have tried to do this.
All the best
Jocelyn Great Grandaughter of John and Ann Ferguson

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the great information, it's been such a fabulous find. The UK 1911 census that’s just been released finally allowed me to find out where my Great Grandfather was born and I've been overwhelmed by the information I've found in this post.
He was John Ferguson born 1860/61, Lairg, Sutherland, listed in MonicaLesi's post above. My Granddad was Richard Bond Ferguson born 1904, his siblings - William 1901, Norman 1896, Annie 1894, Blanche 1891, Jessie, 1889. All born in/around Salford, Greater Manchester.
To Jocelyn – It looks like you’re describing my Great Grandfathers sister Annabella born Lairg Reay Cottage, Sutherland, abt 1863?
To Bernard– my Granddads brother Norman Ferguson – born Failsworth, Lancashire, abt 1896, moved to Canada sometime after WW2, the brother of my Granddad Richard Bond Ferguson? He visited my Grandparents sometime in the ‘70s when they lived in the Isle of Man. What do you know about the factories?
To John James Egerton Ferguson - I'd be really interested to know what your Grandfather remembers of the factory and any other Ferguson family members he can remember, is this the factory/warehouse in Cobden St, Salford? My Grandmothers brother lived in Cobden Street and was an 'indian rubber worker' – Thomas Holland born abt. 1888. The older Ferguson girls might have been working there - Jessie, Blanche and Annie - but I suspect he wouldn't remember them… probably before his time. I’d be also interested to know what you know of your family history.
If anyone has details of any of the people in this post I’d be very grateful to hear from you and share what I know.
Kind Regards
Bev
