help with maiden name and profession

[wdermot]

Hi all, i just found a death certificate and can't read the name of the profession in the top left of the picture and the maiden name in the bottom right.


any suggestions?


His name was James Ferguson but i don't know his dob, from his age at death it would put it between 17/11/1809 and 17/11/1810, but i don't know where he was born either.

any help would be great thanks

Ooops wrong name...McGhie??

[wdermot]

Thanks for your help and such a quick response, I think you might be right about quarryman, I'm not sure about MCghie,  it's so hard to tell...

although now i look at it again, it could well be

Quarryworker looks sound.  And this is in Locharbriggs which is freestone quarrying area (my folks are here).  First thought for the m.s. was Willis - but I'll look again! Edit: Yep McGhie looks a strong match though an odd capital G.

What is the father's first name on this record?  Fingers are crossed for Robert as there are lots of Robert Ferg*on and Mary McGhie births in the appropriate area and time

Hi wdermot
You seem to have McGee in your list of names already, same family?

[wdermot]

good find, yes the fathers name was robert ferguson, where did you find that information? it seems like a very good source!

unfortunately the McGee i've been looking for up to this point has been for a different branch of my tree, so fingers crossed I don't find that they're related, it's never good if the tree become a circle...
