Hello Martin,

I don't really research Ferriers, my main interest is the connection to Meldrums but I have collected a little info on the family of Gibson Ferrier and Elizabeth Meldrum as below. Naturally, I am always happy to hear from Ferrier's who may connect ....

Gibson FERRIER - (c. 1816 -  28th September 1847)  No birth certificate/OPR found.

Gibson married Elizabeth MELDRUM, daughter of Thomas MELDRUM & Elizabeth PIRIE, in Ferry Port On Craig, Fife on 27 Jun 1839.

He died in Dundee where he was employed as a Clerk in the Wallace Foundry there. He died intestate but according to his inventory, Elizabeth inherited 211 pounds and 13 shillings (sterling) - 61 pounds and  13 shillings being the value of his Household Furniture, Bed and Table Linen, Wearing Apparel and Watch and the other 150 pounds, the result of 2 life insurance policies that he held with the Scottish Widows Fund.

Elizabeth was born on 26 Jan 1814 in Dundee, Angus.  She died of syncope, aged 72 in Newburgh, Fife on 23 Mar 1886.

They had 4 children, John, Thomas, Gibson and Eliza Ferrier.

Shown on the 1841 census as  living at Cotton Road, Dundee, Angus  (P-282 D-90 F18 P9)

Gibson Ferrier, aged 25, a clerk born Outside Census County   I.e. Not born in Angus
Eliza Ferrier, aged 25, born in Angus
John Ferrier, aged 1, born in Angus
Cathrine (sic) Ferrier, aged 60, an Independent born Outside Census Country

Catherine FERRIER born c. 1781 I presume to be the mother of Gibson. His father may have been a John Ferrier as per SNP, although nothing found for a John and Catherine in the right time period.

Lindsay

Martin

You may well be right, seems likely - all other census info in Scotland for Gibson shows him to have been born in Dundee, Angus/Forfarshire. IGI has an extracted record showing his birth on 5th Jan 1844 in Dundee so probably the 1881 is incorrect.


Child #1: Ferrier John  pn[4858] Sex M (-1840-)
Birth: Scotland
Christening: 1840/APR/8 Dundee,Angus,Scotland
Census: 1871/APR/2 Age:31 Clerkenwell,London,England, Condition=U, Address=21 Gt.Percy Street, Occupation=Commercial Clerk, Age=31, Birthplace=Scotland


John FERRIER -  Born on 8 Apr 1840 in Dundee, Angus. 

In 1871, John was a lodger at 21 Gt. Percy Street in London, along with his brother Gibson. His occupation is shown as Commercial Clerk (Russian Merchants) and he was unmarried.

In 1881, he was living at  32, Lancaster Road, Kensington, London, an unmarried Merchant, aged 41 and a boarder with the Straturaun family. I think it is coincidence that an Eliza Wilson, aged 19 and a servant born in London is also shown living there. 

In 1886 when he probated his mother's will, he lived at 10, Albert Hall Mansions, Kensington Gore, London SW. 

He is shown on the 1891 census for England as a Russian Merchant and Widower living at  27, Onslow Gardens with his niece Eliza M. Wilson, daughter of his sister Eliza Ferrier Wilson and 3 servants - cook, parlourmaid and housemaid. According to FreeBMD, a John Ferrier married in 1890 Jul-Aug-Sep in Kensington Greater London, his wife could have been either Emily Gordon or Eliza Temple Waterman but I think Emily Gordon is more likely as FreeBMD also has an entry for an Emily Ferrier who died in Oct/Nov/Dec 1890 in Kensington.

John remarried in June 1897, at Kingston, Middlesex, and in 1901 was living in Rushmere, 12 Southside, Wimbledon Common with his new wife Gertrude, their two small daughters and 6 servants including a coachman. The coachman and his family lived at the stables belonging to the property.

Gertrude Grace SCOTT born c. 1869 in Mill Hill, London, England, was the daughter of Charles SCOTT & Elizabeth H?

They had two daughters:

      Enid Grace Scott Ferrier, born c. 1899 in Wimbledon, London, England.      
      Ruth Euphemia Meldrum Ferrier, born c. 1900 in Wimbledon, London, England.

Ruth was named for John’s aunt Euphemia, sister of his mother Elizabeth Meldrum.  John was obviously very fond of his aunt, her gravestone reads

“Erected by John Ferrier, Merchant London in loving and grateful memory of his aunts, Euphemia Meldrum, who died 23 November 1867 aged 73 years and Isabella Meldrum who died 13th July 1865 aged 64 years”

Thomas Meldrum FERRIER Born on 17 Mar 1842 in Dundee, Angus, died 11th March 1897. His death certificate as registered by his brother, John, shows his occupation to have been Linen Merchant. He died of Acute Bronchitis after 5 days at Montpelier, Dundee.

Thomas was married to Elizabeth Frances McGuire (Bessie) born c. 1848 in Manchester, Lancashire, England in Apr/May/Jun of 1870 according to FreeBMD in Manchester.

They are shown on the 1871 census as living in Stretford, Lancashire. Thomas (29), a Linen Merchant, Elizabeth (23), his wife and their newborn son, Charles aged 1 month, born in Stretford.  Also in the household is nurse, Martha Henwood and servant, Mary Hughes. Elizabeth’s 19 year old sister, Emma McGuire born in Patricroft, Lancashire  was living with them too.

In 1881, he  resided in Tayview House, Forgan, Fife, his occupation was West India Merchant with Bessie and their 3 children,

   Gibson Ferrier born c. 1871 in England.
   Mildred Ferrier born 1873 in Barton Upon Irwell, Lancashire, England.
   Florence Ferrier born c. 1876 in England.

Thomas was not mentioned in the 1884 will of his mother who died in 1886. She left everything to her son John and daughter Eliza.

I have not been able to find any record of the birth of Charles (aged 1 month in 1871) so it may be that Charles was actually Gibson as shown above on the 1881 census. However, I cannot find a birth record for Gibson either …. This theory seems to be confirmed by the 27th November, 1902 at St. Enoch’s Church, Dundee marriage of Gibson Charles Ferrier (31), son of Thomas Meldrum Ferrier (Jute Merchant, deceased) and Elizabeth Frances Walker, previously Ferrier, m/s McGuire to Edith Watson, 26 year old daughter of Robert Lowson Watson (Wine Merchant, deceased) and Jane Ann xxx? Watson, m/s Soutar.

Gibson Charles, a Jute Merchant and bachelor lived at 2, Douglas Terrace, West Ferry and Edith, spinster, lived at 5, Clarendon Terrace, Dundee.
