Mable it looks like James Fergusson 1911 census age 54 b Dumfries NB Dumfrieshire Scotland,
living in Newtown Llan llwchalarn Montgomeryshire see Gadget reply 1. is out the loop if this is the same person in Newtown listed in the 1921 death then he is also eliminated.
A big problem is that the English seem to use the one "S" spelling of the name and some transcriber's do also.
Other options are he has died between 1871 & 1881, he has migrated, or in the military or Merchant marine and may pop up later.
Thank you for your comment.
