Fergusons of Auchenree, Portpatrick
« on: Friday 16 April 10 02:00 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am researching this family as found in the 1851 Census:
Farm of Upper Auchenree, Portpatrick, Wigtownshire
James FERGUSON, 50, Weaver Handloom, Derry
Sarah FERGUSON, 50, Derry
Isaiah FERGUSON, 25, Ag Labourer, Derry
Joseph FERGUSON, 23, Derry
Mary FERGUSON, 15, Derry

Apart from this census entry I have not been able to locate any other records of them.
Cheers,
Colin Ferguson

Hi,

Auchenree is ancestral home of one side of my family (Ross) of the same period. Don't know of any Ferguson link but keen to find out anything you might know where my ancestors fit in.

P.S I am also in Oz.
regards,

Dean
