Fergusons Whitehaven

[Trapper]

I am looking for Emma Ferguson b. Whitehaven 1887, her Fathers name was John but I have no record of her mother, they lived in Earls Road Whitehaven at some time, but whether they lived their when Emma was born I don't know
they also had relatives called Railton, so they have been staying with them, any info would be helpful as I am stuck.

N.B. Emma Ferguson married Wren Clague in Whitehaven

Hello Trapper,
In the 1891 census the only suitable Emma Ferguson was from this family.

RG12/ 4297 Folio 66 page 55 schedule 329
Spring Hill, Aspatria Brayton, Cumberland
Margaret Ferguson,head,widow,48,Farm labourer, Scotland
Sarah Jane Ferguson,daug,S,21,Dressmaker, Scotland
Joseph,son,19,Cogger Aprentice, Scotland
Jannet,daug,14,----Cumberland, Dalston
Maggie,daug,12,scholar, Cumberland, Dalston
Christopher,son,10,scholar, Cumberland, Dalston
Emma,daug, 5,scholar, Cumberland, Aspatria

I checked on the 1881 census and the same family had John Ferguson as the head of family. The 1881 census is available free on line at

Thanks for that, looks promising there was a Christopher & a Sarah Jane but I am not sure about the others.
