I am trying to trace where James Fergusson went after the 1871 Census for Wales
On Census night he is with his parents John and step mother Martha Fergusson, John a Sawyer has a holding of 6 1/2 acres.
The address is given as Gamid? No 2 in St Asaph, Abergele, Bettws Yn Rhos, Denbighshire.
James is shown as a 14 year old, occupation Engineer [ 7 year apprenticeship I would think ]
He was born in Sandon [ Stone ] Staffordshire 1857.
By the 1881 English census His father has died and his step mother a widow is now back in Staffordshire having dropped one "S" in the surname, with some of his siblings, by now James would be out of his apprenticeship and aged 24, I have no idea where he served his apprenticeship, or in what form of Engineering.
So far I have been unable to find him any where.
