Ferguson ancestry Islay to Paisley to Oro, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada
« on: Friday 01 May 15 19:50 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have information on Duncan Ferguson and wife Mary J. Adair ? 

Duncan's marries Mary Jane Adair from Bowmore who was born in 1801 on Nov 21 1822 in Paisley Low, Renfrewshire , Scotland. Return to Islay where the first 5 children are born ( Alexander, Archibald, John, Ann, Neil) and then in 1841 census reappear in Paisley, Renfrewshire living at 10 Lawn Street. Eventually coming to Canada living in Oro, Simcoe county, Ontario. immigrating between 1848 - 1851. Appear on 1861 census in Canada

Other children born in Paisley were Mary , John 2nd and Donald.

Wondering if anyone might have more information or some connection on this Ferguson family.

Also if anyone is a direct Ferguson descendant have you or relative taken a DNA test. I have completed an 111 DNA marker test.

Thank you
