Thank you again Neale for Will and Probate links, I had found them earlier for Margaret and George Ferguson. Normally I use Scotlands People as I'm in Scotland and not sure about using and costs of  records for Victoria.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you both for replies, Wilson Ferguson was born 21/10/1941 according to Find a Grave site and would be in Queensland.
George Ferguson had been at Pioneer Estate from 1924 and still there at time of marriage 1938, I don't have the marriage cert.
In 1950 the family go to Kansas to visit Margaret Fergusons brother.
Thank you for the electoral rolls Neale, it fills in some of the gaps.

Ayrshire / Re: Andrew Skilling & Sarah Andrews m 1923 Kilmarnock?
« on: Wednesday 12 July 23 16:00 BST (UK)  »
Andrew Skilling is still on VR at Southhook Farm, Dreghorn 1940 therefore a different Andrew Skilling to one who died in 1938.
Limekiln Road on VR gives William Andrews as tenant up to 1940, Sarah Andrews father possibly.

Death on SP for Sarah McDonald Andrews/Johnstone/Shilling 1973 Kilmarnock aged 72.
If the correct Sarah she has married Peter Johnstone 1948 Kilmarnock (Ayr).

The Valuation Rolls 1940 give Andrew Skilling at Southhook Cottages, Dreghorn and another Andrew Skilling at 64 Annanhill Avenue, Kilmarnock (Ayr).
